[Elecraft] W1 Power Meter and W8FGU Case

[Bill Miner]

Hello Elecrafters,
 
I just completed assembly of a W1 Power Meter kit.  It seems to work well with good accuracy.  
 
For some reason I had a bit of trouble making good solder connections.  This is the first RoHS board that has given me trouble.  It seemed like it took extra amounts of time and heat to make good solder joints. Is there some special solder flux that should be used when using normal lead solder on an RoHS board?
 
The W8FGU case is very nice.  Fit and finish were perfect and the installation instructions on his web site are very clear.  I have some experience working with plastics and probably could have made my own case.  However, considering time and the cost of materials a DIY case would probably cost more and might not turn out as nice.  Many thanks to Dave for providing this service.
