Kevin The interference is coming from the radio itself, and the cat 5 cable running down the tower to the powershot. It stops at the power shot. (I tried using a power shot from a Canopy radio and had the same results.) There is no interference coming from the LMR cable between the radio and the antenna, nor from the antenna.
