The kit arrived yesterday. SN 5411. I'm still waiting for my magnifying lamp to arrive. Then soldering begins. With my WTCPT station, I accidently left it on for about a week. I turned it off and put in a new tip (PTH). When I assembled my mini-module, I found I had to dwell a long time (5-10 seconds) before I could get solder to melt. In a few cases I felt the board getting warm. I changed tips to my original tip (after cleaning it up) and dwell times dropped to about 3 seconds. So what tip should I be using? Also which DMM should I buy? Is there one out there that is considered a best buy or a great unit at a good price (the cheaper the better)?? - Keith KD1E - - K1 12xx - - K2 5411 (pile'o'parts) - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
