[Elecraft] K2 Only 30-metre Band Works

[VA1CQ]

Jerry,

I tried briefly to remove the relay for re-use. I decided quickly, 
however, after starting with my equipment on hand and skill level, it 
made more sense to go for full demolition since the cost of replacement 
is low. I will keep your method in mind for future. I have found when 
removing a 2-pin device that rocking the device back and forth while 
heating works to remove 1 pin followed by heating the other pin, rocking 
and pulling out the device. My current solder sucker is OK but not up 
the task of removing a multipin device like these relays.

73,
Murray VA1CQ
