An EMP is very likely to make the radio spectrum unusable for a period of time. How long? I don't know exactly, it will depend on the mechanism used to create the EMP. There's no reason to protect a radio after the EMP has passed unless there is another EMP. But it won't be usable until the radio spectrum clears.
