Hi All,

Installed a Line Isolator between my IC-706MKIIG and the rooftop AH-4 
tunner, at the rig side as the manufacturer directions suggested. 
I think that I indeed see improvement in the accuracy of the SWR 
tuning, but I also see some degration in the reception (during TX) in 
a TV set that I use in the shack. 

Q1: I would expect the TV reception to be stable if not improve, what 
could be the case here ?

Q2: Some people insist that the insolator should be installed on the 
Antenna side because that's where the stray RF is created through 
SWR, who is right ? Antenna side or TX side ?
