Much more common cases of avionics interference are VHF-GPS issues
Often overlooked is the fact that GPS invariably uses an active antenna i.e. it has a transistor amplifier built into the aerial. A strong signal saturates the transistor, regardless of frequency, and it becomes a switch and turns off the antenna.
