[MRCA] product recommendation

[W2HX]

Folks,

I ordered a neat little pcb holder from amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Aven-17010-Adjustable-Circuit-Holder/dp/B00Q2TTQEE/

Although I have a standard panavise for holding boards, this one will allow you to rotate the pcb to allow work on either side of the board without removing the board.  It is inexpensive and seems to work as advertised. It isn't the most robustly build item, but with a little care should be ok.  The price is certainly right.  Some links here are some pictures of it in use. Nice little item to add to the bench. I will mention that some nuts had shaken loose in transit which seems to be one complaint about these things. But I stuck 'em back in place and we're in business.

PS you can see the processor board from the PRC-132 I am repairing. I have removed the soldered in battery (bottom right of board). The replacement battery holder should arrive tomorrow.
