If the radio and computer are bonded as described, no isolation
is needed. The bonding reduces the voltage between them to a few
uV. And even if they aren't bonded, the connection of the signal
returns of the serial cable to the shells of the DN9s reduces
that voltage to a few tens of mV.

Thanks for the kind words, Glenn.
