@AA7EE Very nice. Thanks! Fav'd! 2:56 PM May 16th via Twittelator in reply to AA7EE
@VA5LF Cool. I'd prefer to buy one decent unit. I don anticipate a ton of use, but want flexibility. 10:25 AM May 16th via Twittelator in reply to VA5LF
@VA5LF will any of these variable solder "stations" manage PL-259s too, or is does that really need a separate tool? 10:21 AM May 16th via Twittelator in reply to VA5LF
@JK54B Well I has a few projects in mind and if I'm going to buy something, I want flexibility. 9:43 AM May 16th via Twittelator in reply to JK54B
@NG9R Looks like tin and lead based on a quick search. Thanks! 9:35 AM May 16th via Twittelator in reply to NG9R
@NG9R I assume the 60/40 is a ratio of two metals? 9:33 AM May 16th via Twittelator in reply to NG9R
@tominabox1 Suggestions on solder? 9:30 AM May 16th via Twittelator in reply to tominabox1
