Thanks for that clarification, Garey. I had never heard of "silver-bearing"
solder. I've told you that I never was in electronics professionally, and
only had the minimal USN training for radio ops, not the Electronics Techs
that did get the full, "good stuff", hi.
The silver solder I was referring to I used as a young lad in an
electrician's shop and had something to do with an appliance I had to
repair. Now, this was 1963 or 64, so forgive my loss of memory on what it
was, hi. I remembered using a small torch on a small gas bottle of some
sort and it got REALLY hot, much more than I would use on a tube pin. Your
explanation tells me now that I was at least partially correct.
That said, would you recommend silver-bearing solder in the 3-400/3-500's if
we run across this problem in our amps?? I use 63/37 here nearly all the
time, only use the 60/40 outside on the antenna wires in a larger size and
was afraid the 63/37 would melt too easily.
73,and thanks as always,
Don, WB5HAK
