[TowerTalk] DX Engineering

[ve4xt at mymts.net]

I get the complaint regarding schematics. Even Ameritron gives you a schematic. 

That said, I've never called and asked for one. Maybe on request???

That aside, DX Engineering has been superb on service. I called because I could not get a coax prep tool to cut right, and they sent another one. No charge!
