I made an even more cost-effective one: I put a couple of diodes in parallel (anode to cathode) across the connector in the old coax switch I use for receiving antennas. I wrote "FOR RECEIVE ONLY!" on the switch in big letters.
Oh yes, I also put an ancient low-pass filter between it and the antenna so it would not become a VHF harmonic generator!
