I disagree.  There is the knowledge base which is likely missing.  Not 
to mention unique test fixtures and spare parts required.   Spare parts 
means inventory of replacement boards. One can not effectively or 
economically do component level troubleshooting with these radios.  It 
is less expensive to build and replace a board than pay a good tech a 
few hours for troubleshooting.

As the say, "I've been there, and I've done that".
