Here we go again, if the avionics are this sensitive then it isn't safe to fly.
Common sense says true enough. If a 3 watt transmitter in your cellphone is a danger to avionics, then couldn't someone remotely crash a plane by pointing a big transmitting antenna at it?

Absolutely correct I know ham radio operators that bounce signals off of high flying jet aircraft undersides increasing the range of a 2 meter, and 440 mhz transmission by many hundreds of miles. This has been going on for decades and no harm has ever been done.

And don't forget some Hams have been doing moonbounce for decades, and there's no sign of the moon crashing

Also there is a limit on how much power they can transmit.

Yeah it would have to be a lot of power with a highly directional antenna, that is tracking at 600 mph. They would also have to cover certain frequencies. They could go manual then to avoid a crash. I don't think it would affect GPS mounted on the top of the plane or even a compass, altimeter, etc. Good luck with that.
