In my mind, to not publish a service manual is really against the ethos of Ham Radio. ?Isn¡¯t ham radio all about experimenting, learning, and tinkering? Fixing, modifying l, and building gear is really part of ham radio. ?
I don¡¯t know of any ham manufacturer that hasn¡¯t published a service manual for their gear. ?Many charge for the manual, but to not publish one at all??! ?Not cool Lab599.
A service manual is especially important for a small, new company. ?No one wants gear that may become unserviceable due to a lack of a service manual if the company stops or can no longer support the owners in the future. ?
Perhaps one reason why people are reporting slow repairs from the US facility is that even they don¡¯t have a service manual¡
Can someone with some inside connection to Lab599 try to get them to release the service manual in some fashion? I for one am happy to pay for it as long as it¡¯s priced reasonably. ?

If they did, I would think it would be on the web site ( Downloads section) but I only see a "User" manual.
