[R-390] Ping Tests and Solder

[James A. (Andy) Moorer]

I use 2% silver solder routinely - I can't tell any difference. I'm told 
that it sticks better to some surfaces, but the effect, if any, is subtle.
I did try the 4% silver solder but I didn't like it a bit - it doesn't 
form a mirror surface - it hardens into a matte finish, so it is quite 
hard to tell a cold solder joint from a proper one just by looking at it.
