GPS loss of signal explanation

My avionics shop told me that modern radios are sufficiently
shielded, but obviously, some older radios are not. Garmin uses the
same active antenna system for panel-mount as they do for portable.

I've had two radios that would flat-line GPS reception in the airplane. One
was a Sporty's handheld NAV/COM, the other was a Cessna ARC 385 panel
NAV/COM. The Sporty's would squash my portable GPS reception just by being
on; the ARC 385 would kill panel and portable GPS when transmitting.
