[Elecraft] K3 12v ERR - Deoxit

[GW0ETF]

Guys,

Thanks for all the replies to my original question below. Had a closer look
at what I have and the 'cleaner' is the D100L (Caig). I got them both from a
HiFi supplier in the UK in 2ml squeeze tubes...about £5 a throw but it goes
a long way!

May have mentioned this before but I use those small interdental brushes to
apply the stuff; if you get some of the really small ones you can get inside
the header sockets as well. This way just a few microlitres can coat
everything...

73,

Stewart, GW0ETF
