    At least something like that would be easy enough to deal with. Cellular boosters work on a certain frequency range that is well above even TV so you could just install an in-line 60MHz HPF and be done with it.

    RFI coming from modules is a different beast entirely. You faraday bag/cage what you can, otherwise you're SOL.

    You might have an electrical connection in one of the harnesses that isn't quite right. That will make a #### load of noise in your radio. Imagine....a Freightshaker with electrical problems! No way! Lol!

    Well here's an update.

    When I plug in a cheap mobilespec power strip inverter... some of the noise goes away. That's...backwards AF. Cheap inverters typically increase noise, and I'm getting a decrease. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, captain.

    Has to be grounding. Of course, I have no clue where the ground points are in this thing.

    Im not a tech and electrical is NOT my friend but just my thinking that when you plug in the inverter and noise drops out some that the ground issue might be near by vs far end of trk..

    Have you thought about taking that Wilson Mount to a fabrication shop and having them make one out of stainless but twice as thick?

    The last two body styles are slightly different in how it mounts...Might be able to reuse that one if your able to drill one more hole in that bracket to fit the latest plascadia..I have same mount from previous version myself be never reused it..I shoulda but didnt think of it till after i bought the bracket for the p4 body style..
