I did a search for "RX front-end saver circuit" and it turned up many 
useful articles, some with schematic diagrams and parts lists, for good 
RX protection circuits.

I have used the commercial KD9SV Front-end Saver for many years with 
excellent results. It provides the additional function of buffering the 
amp keying circuit to protect the rig from damage by amps that have high 
voltage or current keying requirements. There is a homebrew version of 
the KD9SV here:

You need only build the part you need, so you could leave off the amp 
keying circuit part if your amp is of modern design (low voltage/current 
keying).

Good luck with your project,

Gus Hansen
