While I understand that the VRM is likely not the cause for the radio dropouts, at a system level all components of the system should be compatible. Compatibility requires an assessment of such factors as tolerance stack-up.

The present VRM can provide Voltages as low as 11.93 Volts at the regulated 12 Volt output. It might be wise to require that the radio operate within the present system - or to alter the present system to operate the radio.

Either specify ~11.5 Volts as the minimum operating Voltage at the radio input or change the VRM such that it provides a minimum of ~12.5 Volts at the 12 Volt output. Either of these solutions removes the possibility of hardware conflict due to Voltage tolerance.

Intended as a suggestion.
