Hi folks,
I'm in the process of installing the KXB3080 adapter in my KX1. All went
well until page 11 of the installation, checking current drain and voltages.
I had a slightly high current drain (42 mA) and while thinking about this I
suspect I've absent-mindedly poked something with the power
When I was going through certification for soldering at Grumman back in the
'60's, the mantra was, if the solder won't flow, do not raise the heat, use a
bigger iron...It makes sense, solder melts a 361 degrees regardless of the size
of the job..
I remember trying to solder strain gauges on

I found a similar technique that improves the ease of stripping. I
start the blob of solder on the very end of the wire, so it heats the
copper directly, then I drag the blob toward the toroid...seems to
work for me.
When soldering the toroid in, I also heat the pad a little longer

There was some discussion about this product recently. Got mine at the RS in

As you'd expect, for professional use, the Pace and
the Metcal are the most costly - and the best at
what they do.
I'm curious what makes one unit better than another other than the obvious
differences between a temperature-controlled iron and a $10 radio shack
unit. Are you thinking of

You do change the tip to change the temperature -- from your message
'the temerature controlling element in the Weller is the tip', and 'I
use a PTB7 tip'. The 7 in the part number is the temperature of the
tip. It is a 700 deg F tip.

I'm thinking of a second rig and that possibly being an Elecraft. Here's
the deal:

inactive about 10 years ago, my rig was the Kenwood TS 930 which, by all
accounts, had an excellent receiver. With modest antennas, I worked
In this case, the external battery cables aren't fused, so I would have
had to use the lighter jack anyway, and it's one more dongle to
remember.

I notice that these devices come with various ratings up to 30 amps.
Please be aware that the cigarette lighter socket in your auto is
probabably fused at five amps or so and the design of the cigarette
lighter plug probably will not sustain more than five amps without

PeteLooks like Easter weekend is pretty slow for getting help with
your problem. Guess the tekkies are out of pocket. Unfortunately, I have
not gone down the DSP road yet, so I'm not much help. In fact, I ordered
the DSP accessory the A to B upgrade for my K2/100 (#1411) on Friday.
While making some baseline measurements on my KX1 in preparation for the

turned off but connected to an external 12v battery pack.
It turns out that the K6XX visible tuning indicator I have installed draws 5 ma

option. The K2 is definately the heaviest of the three but it also has the

Good Evening,
The snow has stopped for a while. My poor daffodils are sprawled flat
on the ground though. Hopefully they will recover when the warmth comes
back. There was a short respite of sun toward the end of the day. This

Looking for a KDSP2 built or unbuilt that may be surplus to
your needs.
