Just wondering about solder quality... Getting ready to build my K2 and
want to make sure I have the right solder for the job. The elecraft site
lists several brands/types. This week I stopped into Circuit Specialists
in Mesa AZ and bought some solder. When I asked if they had any Kester
solder they sold me this stuff.
---- description----
RH60 Solder 1lb Spool, .031'' Diam, 60/40 (Sn%/Pb%) (RH60-1)
Here is quality solder manufactured to the highest standards at a tremendous
price. Circuit Specialists is a direct importer of this product and our
large purchasing power enables us to offer this product at great savings.
Manufactured with pure tin from Malaysia, and lead ingots from Australia.
This solder has obtained prestigious Japanese Industry Standard (JIS)
certification. It surpasses all levels defined in JIS and MIL standards for
solderability, non-corrosiveness and conductivity. Melting points are
362°-365°F for the 63/37 and 365°-383°F for the 60/40.

Anybody have opinions/experience with the solder from Circuit Specialists?
Would it be a good choice for the K2? It appears to solder well and is
quite clean. Some of the older kester that I have seems to have a lot more
flux than this stuff. Thoughts?
