I by habit install chokes at the feed points of antennas including the Gainmaster to reduce common mode on the feedline. Being that the Gainmaster already has a built in choke as part of the design, it would seem that an added choke at the feed point would either be doing nothing if the Gainmaster choke works as designed, and the added choke may enhance the gainmaster's choke further. As far as at the shack end, I have had luck through the years in a reduction of noise at the receiver as have many people. Any electrical noise picked up by the shield sometimes improves with a choke at the shack end.
