Misinformation. When I was in college, a bunch of radio club members decided to get the NorCal SMK 40m kits. Some of those guys had little to no soldering experience, but all of us had our rigs working FB in a couple of hours with no problems. A little "how-to" info is all you need: http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~fvandenb/work/robot/SMT-GuideV1-3.pdf I like SMT much better... No board flipping and lead clipping. 73, Blake N4GI _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
