Well I just made my first major mistake! I installed
RP2 in the RP3 slot (which is unused but in the same area
and also marked as a 10k on the RF board). I've removed solder
from the bottom holes such that I can see the pins through
the holes, but the pack will not budge as I heat pins from
the outside edge in and gently pull the pack from the top. I
believe the problem is solder on the top side underneath the
pack body which I cannot remove. Before I clip the pack off,
remove the pins and order a replacement, has anyone had
success removing resistor packs? I only have solder wick
and a hand-held solder sucker so please don't get fancy on
me. ;-))
