Yes.
But to expand on this -- often the interference is coupled into a gain
stage or RX by a Pin One Problem. ALWAYS make the first connection of
any cable shield to the shielding enclosure of EVERY active device.
Follow this rule regardless of the function of the cable -- input,
output, control line, RF or audio.
It's also good practice to bring RX antennas into the shack via the same
grounding panel used for TX antennas. And that panel must be tied to
local ground rods, those rods bonded to all other grounds, to the shack
desk, etc.
