Carl,

Regardless of what feelings people might have, beads and isolators really do 
not belong on transmitter lines between amplifiers and radios, or between 
filters and amplifiers.

There isn't any reasonable logical technical reason for using them there, 
and there are many reasons not to use them.

I can't think of a bigger waste of time and ferrite materials.
