G'day, What about - how did it perform?

I was busy until now | as the boards came out some time ago. | | It took a lot longer than expected because all the K3 DSP board holes were | full of solder. The instructions seemed to indicate that four of the holes | should have been clear, i.e., just stick the leads through. The instructions | seemed to be missing a section though as they never suggested soldering four | of the wires. I thought maybe a page was missing but the step numbers didn't | seem to indicate missing steps. Anyway, solder wick and solder suckers | didn't work. The holes are very small and it is tight quarters where a | miscue of the soldering iron could cause damage. I finally had to heat the | wire I wanted to put in the holes (resistor leads) and heat my way through | the soldered holes. | | For future reference, what would be the right way to do this? | | I would like to consider making more audio modifications, the one changing | headphone audio coupling capacitors to larger values for example. I looked | at those capacitors and I wondered how I was going to get them out. The | solder leads on one side seemed to be down at the bottom of a narrow canyon | caused by interfering components. | | Mike Scott - AE6WA | Tarzana, CA (DM04 / near LA) | NAQCC 3535 | K3-100 #508 / KX1 #1311 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
