[Elecraft] soldering tip temperature sensor/calibration

[Lee Buller]

My, Oh My......"Light up the fires and kick the tires.....lets solder"
 
I've never worried about calibrating the tip tempurature of my soldering station.  I figured if it melted the solder it was hot enough.  My K2/100 (and all the rest) works great and never once worried about if my tip was hot enough.  If it was to slow, I tweaked it a little hotter.  
 
Can we look at something so close that we miss the fun of it all or am I missing something.  
 
Hey did anyone put together a Heathkit with a Weller 140 watt gun?  I did!  It worked too.
