Will other electronics interfere with my VHF unit?

Yes that is possible. Many electronic devices are capable of generating RF energy which might interfere with radio reception. This can take the form of wideband ‘noise’ which can degrade reception on all channels or interference which will effect just a few channels. This RF energy can be radiated from equipment cabling, so keep leads as short as possible and routed away from the radio’s cabling. Fitting ferrite rings to either end of leads that might be radiating interference can often help. If problems persist, it might be necessary to re-site equipment or antennas.
