Hi
Suggest you wind a choke with Mix 31 RF suppression cores using RG 8u or 
Equivalent.
Place it between the tuner and the radio or Amplifier.  I made one with 5 fair 
rite 
2631803802 rf suppression cores.  They look like toroids.  Mine has 7 turns.

You don't wind your balanced feed on a torroid for crying out loud, a
method I find preposterous, and probably subject to heating and loss;
you employ a link coupled balanced tuner and float the balanced feeds
so their connection to the unbalanced line is via capacitive and
inductive coupling and not a direct electrical connection.  The link
(think of it as both a variable balun and isolation transformer) stops
common mode RF.
