One more point, any well designed broadcast or commercial transmitter installation is going to include some type of output filtering in the transmission line, or at least some form of interference reduction device. whether it be a filter,isolator or whatever. It is just good engineering practice.
Too bad not all installations use good engineering practice. In my experience paging system transmitters we're the most likely ones to not use isolators or filter cavities. I guess the reason is that they don't need to receive, at least not at any frequency their spurs bother, so they don't care to spend the money or lose a few tenths of a dB in TX signal strength for the benefit of their neighbors on the same mountain who do have sensitive receivers.
