[Elecraft] Bad joints on KPA100 again - with photo...

2005-01-28 Thread Gerhard Schwanz
Hi again,

just took a photo. You see it seems to affect only a special kind of hole (see 
picture). You can see on the picture that other holes work well.

Iron is temp regulated at 330 deg C. Same like before. I already changed iron 
and solder. To no avail.

73 again.

Your iron is too cold, Gerhard! 

I never solder below 375C to 400C. What's happening to you is that any pads
that are attached to the ground plane like the ones in your photo are losing
too much heat to the ground plane for solder to flow.
