Andrey Sviyazov andreysviyaz at gmail.comHi Jean-Samuel. Unfortunately nobody can say about isolation between Tx and Rx of the LMS6002 chip, about which I've told you. So, I decide to pre-amplify Tx because it can to reduce the output signal of the LMS. Anyway isolation of the PCB seems to be quite higher then inside LMS, I'm sure. And also, if I am wrong then we can bypass signal through C108-C109 to avoid this my mistake.
