Default Sprint Booster Tech Question?

I'm new to the crossfire but in reading about the Sprint Booster I had a thought. Has anyone tried to open up or read out a sprint booster to see what was inside? It seems that it would be a simple amplifier, not much more then a transistor and couple of resisters. Maybe less then $20 of radio shack parts and 20 minutes of putting them together. I figure there has to be some electronic guru's that could easily figured this out.

I had a '98 Camaro that the aftermarket guys initially wanted $149 for a skip shift eliminator plug-in device, I found on the internet that a 1.2k ohm resister costing 73 cents was the only electronic part that made the device work and it was easy to do. Could be a similar thing here?

Thanks.

Wish it was so simple... It's actually a microchip that "continuously measuring and converting the digital signal provided by the ECT's potentiometer, and providing the ECM with a new and altered signal". I think there's a thread over at MBWorld.org where somebody opened and broke theirs.
