The MFJ-1708 can be used in that manner.  Connect the loop to the
"ANT" port and the SDR to the SDR port and configure the CTRL input
for PTT.

I recently saw, in an e-mail from someone, a reference to a commercial device designed to protect a receiver on a magnetic loop antenna.  IIRC, the device uses PTT from a transceiver to disconnect and/or short the input of an SDR.  I think it was made by a company whose main product is magnetic loops.

I can't find it now - can anyone help?
