i have been in various electronic feilds since 1972 communications, security, door entry, and fire in brief. i am very big in fire to the highest levels, i have security links and cctv. i believe in a free an open market of info and manuals as the difference, for me, is in how the info is applied. better a average engineer with a good manual than no manual at all. As for users well if they can work it out well and good if not its more money for me to fix. the vague referrences to users comprimising systems, well its there system, most of this is majors using scare tactics to keep their monopoly of **** service, at high cost.

Welcome to the forum...

Im sure most people on the forum would like to have the manuals with free access for all, although this was the case last year and the site was threatened with legal action from manufacturers. This is the main reason they arnt available.

Plus the ammount of bandwidth required for loads of public members to download the manuals would cost the site a fortune.

Welcome Gracey, enjoy the Forums.

I have to agree, with you on this but my reasoning is slightly different.

It realy bugs me that this site was singled out for its manuals being available to all, when their are hundreds more sites doing exactly what I`ve been told not to do...and nothing has been said to them..?
