I can totally agree with Joe, W4TV. At one time I was repairing radios
for various companies. I was doing warranty and non-warranty repairs.
The companies decided it was cost ineffective to maintain independent
repair services. Hence, I no longer repair radios, and no longer have
test equipment to do so. There were other reasons as well, but I agree
with Joe, W4TV, the expert knowledge base is in Watsonville.

They clearly aren't interested in setting up a third party repair
center.
Given the cost of setting up and running a second "factory
warranty/repair center" it just doesn't make sense. Notice
that none of the other radio manufacturers offer duplicate
facilities on the east/west coast ... even those that did so
at one time have pulled back.
The cost of facilities, duplicate test equipment, duplicate
spare/repair parts, etc. simply can not be amortized economically
across one or two technicians. It's far more efficient to simply
add another technician or two (*IF* one can find a qualified tech)
"at the mothership".
