you can break or cut the plastic between each "pin" and desolder or heat each one out individually. just take your time. Even a Hakko 808 may have a problem with so many pins.

Great. Long story short, I ripped out the female connector on the main board as it was much easier to access but it was a huge **** to get the male header into the holes. It isn't quite seated all the way but it is stable and straight and seems to work OK with the module installed. Question is: how would one actually go about removing one of these headers correctly (I guess I already know the answer: desoldering station) Already have 1 5w SSB qso down with one of the RT 66 stations and sent 1 wspr tx this morning and was spotted several places on the East coast. It works! :D TJ W0EA ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
