I disagree.  As Ken has pointed out, R.F. can be dealt with in a systematic
approach.  I'm using a Pegasus into an Alpha 77Dx, transmitting 1500-watts
into a vertical antenna located 35-feet from the shack and I have yet to
detect an R.F. problem.  I don't even have the radio grounded.   Under this
condition, there's a lot of R.F. getting through the case of the radio and
it's still not a problem.

I took care of all my R.F. troubles ten years ago by placing 25 ferrite bead
cores with a mixture of #77 and #43 material onto the incoming antenna leads
AND in between the radio selector switch and the amplifiers.

Keep working the problem.  I'm sure you'll find the solution.
