It's a K2 with a 6 meter transverter. I'll try your suggestion after work. Thanks. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth

It appears that USB is bad across the bands. I tried USB on 6, 10, 15, and 20 meters. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.

SMD soldering is actually pretty easy. It does take a good quality soldering station to do it though. Yes, I need magnification when soldering surface mount components. :) __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/l

2018-11-27 Thread James Doty
I like the idea. You'd have to add a low voltage sensor though to protect the battery and radio from over discharge. It would be pretty light too. That said, the battery only puts out 11.1volts. Will a K2 run on that? I honestly haven't checked. ___

I suspect it will be fine. Soldering SMDs is pretty easy even though it's a different skill set. For me the hard part was learning to work with magnification so I can see what I'm doing. :) On Tue, 13 Jan 2015, Ben Collins-Sussman wrote: I was installing the KVA transverter board this morning

Your mileage may very but I use the T18-BR02 tip for both SMD and through hole soldering. I'd planned on buying more tips but frankly I'm 100% satisfied with this tip. I should probably get a larger tip though for soldering connectors and such. ___

Hi Fred, I'll try this again: Lets see if I can post to the list this time. I have a Hakko FX-951, it has a temperature display on it and is a nice soldering station. I have used mine to solder through hole and SMD components with ease. I really like it. On Mon, 24 Mar 2014, Cady, Fred wrote:
