  It's been working so well that I am afraid to touch it. LOL Regards, Richy N2ZD

Good morning Richy:

Thanks for the advice.  Works great, I have used silver solder at the end points 

but never on the severed wire end that was never exposed to solder.  Thanks 

again and a good day to you.  BTW, have you tried the VFO change yet?  Kindest 

regards Jim K9AXN

   I use a solder for mating dissimilar metals called Staybrite #8, it contains 

silver (about 5-6 percent) and will mate most metals together. Expensive, but 

worth a try. You can usually bother any HVAC guy for a small piece to try out. 

If not, I will send you some.

Hi Bob:



Thanks for the response.  Found that the tin plated wire in final enclosures 



over time becomes unsolderable.  There is apparently an interaction between 



the tin and copper that produces a surface that will oxidize.  The process 



occurs much earlier when exposed to heat --- tin plated wire apparently has 



a shelf life.  This is why I'm looking for silver plated wire.







Case and point, we do a lot of rework in the final compartment of the 



SR-2000 and find that the tinned wire is universally unsolderable.  Have to 



sand down to bare copper and use sleeves to reconnect.  I purchased a 50' 



roll of tinned copper a couple of years ago and find that certain sections 



of it are unable to hold solder.  Also found that an attempt to solder to a 



tin plated final coil was a no-go without sanding to copper.







If anyone has another solution, I'm all ears.  Kindest regards Jim K9AXN
