[QUOTE="DrDuck, post: 163868, member: 158"] I don't know much about detectors, but am an amateur radio enthusiast, so have some knowledge of complex communication equipment. In addition to the points raised above (all valid), much modern electronics uses surface mount components and multi-layer boards. This makes reverse engineering all the more difficult, outside of having a dedicated laboratory it is a tough ask for a hobbyist. Then there is the issue of sourcing all the (sometimes obscure) parts, designing and making the boards, and assembly, all of which requires specialist resources and knowledge. I think SteelPat gets it right. [/QUOTE]
