How can electronic devices be protected from radio interference?

[WOLFBOX CAR LIFE]

What electronic devices do you bring when you off-roading/camping/hunting?
Do you have any practical ways of protecting electronic devices from being intervened by high frequency radio? It would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Generally the way to protect devices from RF interference is Overbraid that is grounded on one or both ends( Be careful of creating a ground noise loop which can make it worse). Shielded wires for signal and audio wires. Doing this after the fact is usually just out of the question as its too involved. this is something that is usually built into the design, in this case they wouldn't have known because its aftermarket so its not done.

The next best thing is taking the RF signal source( the antenna for the radio causing the issue) and making sure that it has a good Ground plane and or relocating it further away from the item that it is interfering with. Other things to check are the antenna cable, Verify the antenna is of the right Frequency range of the radio transmitting, you can check VSWR to ensure that the antenna isn't reflecting more than approx 15% total transmit power (Higher VSWR can actually cause radios to burn out)... it goes on and on.

Awesome suggestions! Thank you!
