Well, all this talk of mods got me wondering and I liek some opinions
from this group - I KNOW some of you know a lot about solder.
Resin core solder - thats not acid flux is it?
Most of my solder came from my time with electronics in defense over
30 years ago.
I have 2 reels that are labelled:
Ersin non-corrosive flux made by Ersin Multicore Solder and has 362
Flux, DTD599, BS441, Type 1 written on the label.
This is 18 SWG, .048", 1.2mm (this is a time when you got told every
which way)
The other roll is only 2 years old, is from RS (that's Radio Spares in
UK) but made by Multicore and supposedly low temp (melts at 183 C).
It has 'Crystal 400 60/40 Tin/Lead EN29453, S-Sn60Pb40E on it and is
0.7mm
So I'm guessing that the later would be preferable for use on the K3
and on my XV144 which I'm about to start.
73 de M0XDF, K3 #174
