[Elecraft] Bad KPA100 PCB?

[Gerhard Schwanz]

Hello!

I am just in the process of building my KPA100. And I discover more and more solder points on the PCB where the solder is not accepted. Scraping the pads a bit helps a bit but I don't think this is a solution.

Some details. I don't know where in the process it started but right now I'm on page 15 soldering the capacitors. And it's nearly every third hole that doesn't work. The solder sticks to the leads or the iron.

I use the same iron and solder as with the other 10 PCBs of elecraft that I have built.

I contacted elecraft about this issue but I wanted to ask if others have this problem too? What can I do?
