And use the finest size you can find. Makes control of the amount of
solder much easier. Mine is 63/37 0.010 and it works great. The only
problem is that the solder is fine enough that I sometimes lose the
piece on the workbench if I don't set it down in exactly the same place
everytime.

Hi
The K2/100 will draw about 15-18 amps depending on the band selected at 100
watts driven into a 50 ohm load.
Do not use silver solder it is hard to remove if you make a mistake or when
components need to be removed to install options. Silver solder has no
advantages in standard through hole PC construction. You should use 60/40 or
better 63/37 rosin core solder.

I'm thinking about getting the K2 with the 100 watt amp. This forum is very
helpful and maybe I can get some questions answered.
What current does the K2 need at 100 watts?
Did I see one is supposed to use 2% silver solder or is 60/40 ok?
