The RX Ant In and RX Ant Out are protected during transmit.   As to 
protecting the input of the SDR-IQ, make sure you use very good quality 
connectors and very good quality coax such that any transmitted RF is 
not picked up by leakage into these components. I use Amphenol BNC 
connectors and double shield coax for my jumpers.    Running near legal 
limit,  I've not fried the front end of my SDR Play as of yet.
