That would reveal trade secrets and IP not yet patented. Of course this cannot be allowed. Rossi would be crazy to allow this. > Or to supply their own cable? > Which cable? The power cable? Obviously they had access to the bare wires, or they could not have measured voltage. If you do not trust ammeters and voltmeters, I do not see why a different cable would satisfy you. - Jed
