Yes that's my understanding as well. And if you notice on the schematic they show an earth ground symbol for the external antenna, which is not chassis ground. In theory when it's wired correctly you would have your antenna on one end of the isolated loop and earth ground(water pipe) on the other. Doing that should isolate anyone touching those two connections from shock hazard. Unless of course there's a capacitor shown on the schematic connecting those two grounds, which I didn't notice with my quick scan over. Make sense?
