In 1999 or so when I purchased K2 #320 the Kester "No-clean' solder was
recommended by Elecraft.
I quote from a April 12 1999 message on the reflector by Wayne N6KR titled
"Correction on Kester solder part numbers"
"Kester actually has two different types of .031" diameter, 2% silver
solder. The Kester part numbers are:
24-7150-8800 is 1.1% flux by weight ("no-clean," or "245" flux)
24-7150-0027 is 3.3% flux by weight (good ol' standard "44" flux)
Then later he says:
I'm leaning towards the -8800 because it should leave less flux residue,..."
Many other posts at this time also recommended the 245 "no-clean". I used
this solder on my kit and it still works.
