Handheld VHF interference

I have the Datamarine 5100 instrument package with the remote readout mounted on the pedestal guard. This remote readout is wiping out the reception on my VHF handheld, as the squelch has to be set too high for the radio to be usable.

I know that many Ericsons were sold in the eighties with the Datamarine instrument packages. Does anyone else have the interference problem that I have? What have you done about it?

I am not anxious to replace my fixed mount radio for one with a ram mike or the instrument package.

For those who don't know what I am talking about, attached is a rear view with my son.
