Darn spell check -- Proprietary information also know as a Trade Secret.

Because it's considered propriety information. You paid for a black box that
does what it says it will. You did not pay for the why or how it works. This
is not unusual business practice. You bought a car with dozens of black
boxes in it, do you have schematics to those?

Rob,

I just looked at my NCC-1 manual.  No schematic.
It seems odd they wont provide one. I wonder what their
reason is ?  I would give them a call.
I may call them myself, I am contemplating the purchase of the
new model but would like a schematic

I like your callsign :-)

Engineering telling me they won't give me a schematic.  In addition,
rather than work with me to find the problem, they only offer their
repair service.   I am very disappointed in this after spending over
$1000 over the past two years on the Pro-1B loop antennas.  I guess
this means no one has a schematic so I'll just have to signal trace.
If this is a business decision, I think it is a poor one.
It certainly gives one pause about future purchases.
