[Elecraft] P3 +12V mod for K3

[Don Wilhelm]

De-soldering has many possible facets, and which one you use will depend 
on your experience, tools available and to a certain extent the amount 
of "stubbornness" you want to tolerate.  Each connection is different.

I routinely use a Hakko 808 desoldering iron, but there are times when a 
slender tool (narrow tipped long screwdriver) will do a good job of 
prying the component up off the board, and the 2nd lead can easily be 
removed - for multi-legged components  that process can be much complex.
