[Elecraft] Desoldering and installing the KX1 3080 option

[n2htt at optonline.net]

Having had several harrowing desoldering experiences over my kit building career, I read with interest the posts on the Hakko 808 - I'm on the verge of ordering one on the spot. But I have a question to anyone who has used one, especially if you've used to install your 3080 option:
Does the unit come with the right tip, or do you need to order an extra?
I've found a number of good internet sites to buy it, but none mention what tip if any it ships with.
Thanks

(and probably eventually a K2 .....B-)
