Default installing isolator on a transceiver

As described elsewhere, by using RF bypass relays for receive, the
isolator can be installed as designed, with one port terminated.
(This rig still requires bandpass filtering to keep intermod products
from being generated in the front end of your receiver and being re-
radiated. Such EMI can be very nasty.)
