Subject: Re: [motm] Cabinet shielding

From: Richard Brewster <pugix@...>

The power input section of MOTM modules uses ferrite beads to filter out
RFI at the power connector. And since the patch cords are shielded,
that eliminates another potential antenna. I don't recall this being
too much of a concern. Never heard of anyone needing to shield a cabinet.
