Thankyou so much everyone who replied to the list and many privately about soldering temperature. I will set the Hakko at 700 F as a start and see how it goes. With over 35 years of using a 15 Watt Antex, the variable temperature was an unknown to me. My AMQRP DDS-60 and AD9851 have arrived, as has my Optivisor. I just need some time and courage to start - and I'll start with the relatively big parts and resistors, not the 9851.
