No - it says that a temperature-controlled iron at 700 to 800 degree tip is required. It also states that a larger iron or soldering gun is required for the power transistors, output transformer and DC power wiring, and that a low-wattage iron *cannot* be used for these steps. I built the KPA100 with a small tip at 700 degrees with no problem. I did use a large tip for the power transistors, etc, but still at 700 degrees. I had no problems at all.

I missed that part in the manual. 725 degrees should work fine. -- 73, Brian VE7NGR _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
