Ken, Use the biggest 700°F Tip that you have for a given soldering job. The more mass the tip has, the better.
Tim Raymer >>> "Ken Chandler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/29/06 08:22:38 >>> Hi all My K2/100 is dispatched and awaiting arrival. I have been advised to use lead solder for building the kit. Looking through my junk box I have found a 500g reel of leaded solder, 0.7mm dia, it's alloy is 8 - sn63pb37, I presum this is ok for the job in hand!! Lastly tips, I have a weller and have an assortment of tips ranging from large to very fine tips all stamps 7, ie 700f, on the base. Will I be ok using those fine tips! or should I get a differant temp tips. cheers Ken..G0ORH _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
