ARRL HQ used to maintain a list of engineering contacts at the various
companies who were more knowledgeable than the 800-number crowd. You might
try an e-mail to W1RFI@arrl.org.
These days, an awful lot of 800-number customer service is being outsourced
to telemarketing shops where the only info the people have is what they
have been given in their script.
