Re: [Elecraft] De-soldering Tool Recommendations?
All, The discussion of desoldering tools inspired me to try something I've seen on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B094ZCRXMN It's basically a solder sucker with a heated tip. $36, free Prime shipping. It arrived this morning, and I just tried it out. I dug out an old video board and desoldered a pin header. Worked *flawlessly*. The only real trick was to hold the tip on the board a little longer - to get that solder melted all the way down the hole. But that's for any desoldering tool. It cleaned out the holes very nicely, and did not mess up the lands or traces. - Jerry KF6VB On 2022-03-13 22:06, Tony wrote: All: Can anyone recommend a budget de-soldering iron that can be used in tight places? I need to remove a small component that has a few surface mount devices close by so the iron would need to have a small tip. Also need advice on the best soldering iron to use for this type of work as well as the best low-temp Rosin core solder to use.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA 500
Although I have a K3 and a K3S, they are relegated to backup service to my Kenwood TS-890. A number of us Kenwood users also have KPA500 and KAT500s. We are using mostly home-built cables for interconnection. If you don't have the KAT500 then RF sensing is probably good enough. The advantage to the cable when the KAT500 is employed is that it can be preset to the band and tuning solution, when the transceiver changes frequency, without transmitting. This is particularly handy when just listening. Wes N7WS On 3/22/2022 11:31 AM, j...@kk9a.com wrote: A long time ago I used a KPA500 with a Yaesu FT1000MP and the RF sensing worked perfectly.

Do you trust that RF sensing function? REALLY trust it? Because if you transmit into the wrong LPF, it can be Game Over for the PA transistors. I went through three sets of expensive LDMOS devices on my Medium Linear project before I bit the bullet and hooked up the band data from my FTDX10. With the band data hooked up, the linear is always set to the correct band.

Re: [Elecraft] De-soldering Tool Recommendations?
Steve Great idea: did you use self-fluxing enamel wire? This is common on small gauges used in signal circuits but not so common on large gauge wire used in power transformers that I recall.
