[Elecraft] Installing 2-meter option in K3 ?

[Don Wilhelm]

Phil,

That is a statement that should be applied to any thru-hole soldering.
I believe it is made so those who have little or no soldering experience 
will pay attention.
One should use a temperature controlled soldering iron, and apply heat 
long enough (but only long enough) to see the solder flow out onto both 
the board and component.
If you linger on the connection, that is when damage occurs.
It is no more difficult than any other thru-hole component soldering.
