I've never had the luxury of owning a modular system, but I've always
wondered about whether they "radiated" any interference from all those
unshielded patch cords. Remember, it doesn't have to be "radio frequencies"
to cause some interference with other gear.

I also wonder if a large modular system would pass FCC emission and
susceptibility standards. I don't think modulars were tested for such
things back in their heyday. I think most of them are sold as kits now, and
probably escape testing through some loophole in the rules.
