MOTM

"Another reason: may people think a schematic contains all necessary
info to actually build
something. WRONG! It doesn't contain pcb layout info, parts specs (like
special caps) or
considerations like grounding schemes. Errors can propagate for 20 years
(the infamous Penfold
book), and the sacred Horowitz & Hill that has glaring screwups, at
least in the first edition."

--I have to put in here and agree with Paul big time. The inclusion of
schematics for our products is to help the kit builder both build and
learn but they are not designed to allow duplication of the product.
People that try this often get something very inferior. Many of the
Blacet products come with in house tested and selected parts that are
vital to the modules operation. This information is not part of the
manual.

I once worked for a company where an employee managed to walk away with
a set of blueprints for everything the company made. He formed a company
and tried to copy the products. Hardly anything worked; he went under
faster than the Titanic. There is "magic" in what we do and like good
magicians everywhere, we don't let go of all the secrets......
