DQOTD - VHF circuit breaker

Is it desirable to keep the VHF on its own circuit breaker for the same reason the SSB needs to be separated due to RF interference?

My old VHF had its own 5A breaker. I just replaced the old VHF with a new DSC-enabled VHF that requires a 6A fuse. I put it to a 10A breaker and retained the downstream in-line 6A fuse, simple enough. But it now shares a breaker with Cig Plug chargers and a GPS. I assume it isn't going to cause havoc with those, is it, even when transmitting?

TIA
