I had the pleasure of recently assembling a KX1 and KXAT1 kit. I had the KX1
working on both 20m and 40m, which last worked on Sunday. Unfortunately I now
have the misfortune of debugging an issue with it.
Today I found the RX and TX no longer work. The KX1 powers on, the menus behave

Hi Gwen,
I love my Hakko FR301 de-soldering gun but, while I've used a variety of
melt/burn techniques for enamel wire insulation, I had not thought of using the
de-soldering tool. I haven't noticed anyone mention wire stripping tweezers,
which I've found to be a really handy tool when making
A couple of historical references on the current topic:

Interesting articles. Lore notwithstanding!
Merry Christmas to all.

Logger32 does this very nicely. Have used this for years. Can ring an
audio alert on the PC speaker when it sees one you need and have set
filters for. I suspect N1MM might do this also via the telnet window
but have not tried that part exactly. T

The trick is to get a small blob of fresh melted solder on/in the tip of the
desoldering tool. It will stay there as you slowly insert the enameled wire
through the blob and into the tip of the tool an inch or so, melting off the
insulation as you go before activating the vacuum. Practice a
Doug,
I use 800 deg F and a wide tip to get the job done.
Of course my Hakko 808 is a lot easier. Clean the inside of the Hakkko
tip after a few toroids.

If you can find one, an Orban 245 stereo synthesizer would work
perfectly for this application.

I'd love to have one of those vacuum desoldering tools. I feel in
techno-lust with them watching Mr. Carlson's Lab on YouTube. I might try
that trick you discovered, but I found that my electronic plasma arc

It depends on the wire. I have a roll of "high temperature" 16AWG that

at my attempts. I generally keep my station at 750, that seems to work
OK for
the low temperature stuff. But even with the lo-temp stuff, you have to
be patient.

How hot does the solder need to be to burn off magnet wire insulation? I have
my soldering station set to 710 degrees, and that does not seem to be enough
when I try the “blob on end of iron” method.

Jerry,
Years ago when I built my K2, somewhere I learned a Hakko 808
desolating tool was also an excellent enameled wire stripper and

expect similar results from this newer tool. Either are

Dale,
This works by dividing the audio spectrum into several segments and
sending alternate segments to different channels! It wouldn't be much
good for CW. Interesting, though.
Here's the full description:
Hello Victor,
A quick web search turned up this inexpensive ($11) thru-hole kit that may

The K3 (and I think the KX3 and K4) has a simulated stereo function
which allows you delay the audio to one channel slightly, which makes
signals seem to stand out from the noise. I believe that the radios
newer than the K3 also have the ability to create stereo separation by
pitch, which
I heard that one of the major competitors is working on TSFoldDX mode.
They fold space and time so that you can just talk to the DX face to
face and hand the QSL card over in person. Sadly, that was put on hold
due to Covid concerns.
They had it working briefly about 10 years ago, but the
