[Elecraft] K3 ESD

[Mel Farrer]

Hi Mark,

I use a anti-static mat and wrist strap also.  I prefer a compartment sorter 
also, but you can get anti static sorter trays, for money, hi. Most are not 
anti-static and can cause problems.  I use 18 egg cartons with the top cut off, 
no static.  The cartons also have another advantage.  You can poke the leaded 
parts vertical through the material.  


Mel,

I used a static strap and mat when building my K1 & K2.  I left the sensitive
componants, the ones in esd foam in the bag until needed.  I did, however,
sort the other parts into plastic bins with compartments such as are used
for screw assortments.  Is this not recomended?  If not, what should be
used?  Would this be okay if the bins were sprayed with my wife's anti-cling
stuff?
