walky talky kills roadhog

I can speak for the original poster, but I've had cell phones and two-way radios crash all kinds of consoles over the years (both Hogs and others). Your best bet is to keep them several feet apart and let the inverse square law work for you. Some consoles are more prone to having problems than others, but you can never be sure.

At a theater I used to work at, there was one designer who insisted our console was failing because it crashed all the time. No one else ever had a problem. I realized during tech one night that he'd set his cell phone on the submasters while he was writing cues. The cell phone checking in with the tower would sometimes crash the console. Once he moved the phone a few feet away the problem went away.
