[Elecraft] Soldering Stations Question

[Leigh L Klotz, Jr.]

I met two Metcal engineers (retired) at the SVARO.org swap meet and they 
showed me a lot.  They said they operate on 13.52MHz.  They will go 
through a solder ingot one minute and solder SMT's the next.  They said 
early models had no SWR foldback and they added 2 zeners for 
protection.  Also look for small bolts near the F connector on the 
"power supply" (really transmitter) body.    If they are missing, it 
generates RFI up to 800 MHz.
