[Elecraft] Re: KPA100 K3 relay

[Trevor Smithers]

First of all, thanks to all those that offered advice - much appreciated.

Well, after much deliberation (reading this mail archive & Eham reviews etc) I decided 
to put away the solder wick and purchase a Hakko 808. I tried it out on some 
discarded pcb's ( where I had previously used solder wick) and all I can say is that its 
probably the best tool purchase I've made. Full of confidence I tackled the K3 relay 
and a few seconds later it came away from the board as clean as you like - wonderful!!

Its expensive to buy in the UK, and if you're a careful builder it might not see a lot of 
immediate use, but for those occasions when mistakes do occur or you need to rework 
the K2 to install mods etc it looks like being invaluable.
