Question Why ANT?

In most planes equipped with an ADF the standard selector switches are BFO, ANT and ADF. What is the use in selecting ANT? . .ANT should only activate the sense antenna, and therefore put the loop antenna "offline". What is the practical sense behind this? Does it have to with different NDB classes (A1A etc.)? Do Transport Cat. airplanes have an ANT switch as well?
