With my TS-2000 I've not had any problems with RF getting back into the house via the power line, of course I'm tapped at the main junction (80 amp sustained capacity) with a rig fused at, IIRC 25 amps, Those U-220's make a good filter even if they are around 30 feet away (perhaps more)

I have, however, tripped the GFCI (120 volt) when using VHF or UHF and an indoor antenna, no problem if the antenna is outdoor (Indoors the antenna is ... Well I can touch both the antenna and the GFCI at the same time) No problem with the 50 watt V/U-HF rig using the mirror mount in the front of the rig though

But when I'm using the TS-2000 in the middle of the rig, only about 10 watts on 440 and CLICK the GFCI trips.
