Re: [Elecraft] De-soldering Tool Recommendations?

Has anyone else tried high intensity leds in their W1? I replaced the leds in my W1 with high intensity red, yellow (amber), and green leds from Sparkfun Electronics. A pic can drive them to a much higher light output without any other changes to the W1 circuit board. The light output from the
