Warranty - Autek Research WM-1 SWR Instructions Manual

Autek Research has supplied compl ete schematics on
all other products. If you've purchased our produces
before , you ' ve noticed they have significant
technology advantages, and are usually less expensive
than similar devices as well. As a result, our engineer-
ing has been at least partially copied with a similar
design . Often this "copy" is so poor that it not only
costs us sales, but raises doubts about the quality
of our product by inference.("! tried a ---- - act:ive
filter and it didn ' t: work very well, so no need t:o
cry
Auceks~,
ecc.) As a result, we're sorry we
can~t
supply a complet:e schematic of the propietry circu1try
in che
WMl.
However, service is available at a very
reasonable cost:.
