For those of you with an SDR dongle, for example the Funcube Pro +,  how do you protect it from not being damaged by TX energy? I’m thinking of hooking mine up to the 70cm antenna in my M2 LEO pack while I TX on the 2m antenna and was afraid I’d overload the SDR. I see folks using them for their RX on linear birds, so I’m just wondering how you have them hooked up.  
Thanks in advance for your advice.
