My Colibri is interfering with my Microair. What do I need to do to
fix that?

What exactly are the symptoms? What is the sound? Intermittent? What
makes it better or worse?
Interference will either couple through the antenna or power supply
cabling.
Power cabling is the most likely - you want to try ferrite chokes
(preferably with the power wires wrapped though the choke several
times) on the power leads to both devices placed close to each device.
If antenna interference you can try checking connectors, make sure
they look good and are connected firmly, try moving antennas away from
cabling , try swapping the colibri/radio with somebody else and see if
the problem goes away.

Hi Gary,
There is a good chance that putting a ferrite tube on the power/data cable -
near the Colibri - will solve the problem. If you can't get one at Radio
Shack, I can sell you one. There a "clamp-on" versions that work fine.
All Goddard cables I sell have ferrite tubes to avoid noise issues.
Best Regards,
