Hey folks! Relatively new ham here, I’ve been enjoying listening to the local repeaters while doing other stuff on my laptop. Last night I turned on my radio before my laptop, and as it booted up what was a relatively clear transmission became nothing but static. I’m a little surprised the effect could be so dramatic on 2m given none of the major components would be operating around that frequency range, but I suppose there could be some minor chips on the board running around there? Is this a common experience?

I'd recommend you explore https://qrm.guru/ to determine exactly where the noise is coming from and what to do about it.
