Hi Paul,

It strongly depends on how your front end is designed.

Now I have a pair of back to back 1N4148 diodes across the receiver
front end but I don't think this offers real protection because they
allow too high voltage before conducting.
I don't think so. They work until several 100 MHz so they are extremely fast. Further you can switch a small R (depending on the design) in front of the diodes. This also builds a RC lowpass which can help to rise the performance.

I'm also using 1N4148 diodes but not back to back, rather one against ground, the other against +, while the center is at V/2.

  Also there is a preamp
after the didoes which can bring the RF to dangerous levels!
How? The output voltage of the preamp can't be higher than the supply voltage.

73, Stefan
