The yellow phono connector is baseband video - no RF. Now that every TV in the world has at least one video in, nobody bothers with RF modulators any more - at least, not on handheld gear. I had digital cable installed last year, and being a very technical sort of chap have a very ancient colour TV with no video in. The installer spent five minutes looking for the SCART socket before I took pity on him... he'd never seen a TV without one before.

Airband radios are a no-no. They deliberately generate a radio signal that's very close to the frequencies they listen to, and this can most definitely interfere with things that should not be interfered with.

It's amazing what can interfere. I'm just testing a spectrum analyser here, and was intrigued to spot a lot of spikey noise on 2.4GHz (the Wi-Fi band). After some sniffing around, it turned out to be my iPod, which should by rights be totally silent up there...
