Most authorities I've read say that the transceiver, and the tuner chassis, should both be securely bonded to the same grounding point. You don't want to ground either side of the balanced feedline, as this would deliberately un-balance it, and defeat the purpose/function of the balun at the output of the tuner. I intend to build a "spark plug" type lighting arrestor.
