About lowpass filters for a 1.5 kW transmitter:

It might be advisable, IF you have the potential for TVI,
to make a lowpass (or bandpass) filter for the transmitter
and then follow it another filter which is especially designed
to have zero lead-length in the shunt capacitors to ground.
This will insure good stopband performance up in the 100
MHz region and above.  A fine example of what I am
talking about (with pictures!) is here:
