Just turn your soldering tip parallel to the length of the SMD.? One iron tip will heat both pads, flip the part off.

Adding solder helps.?? The crappy "earth friendly solder" flows a lot better when you add in old fashioned 60/40.

It usually sticks to the iron, I tap the iron on the bench to get it off.

Removing SMD resistors can be done with two soldering irons or with one

soldering iron that has a wide enough tip to bridge both ends of the resistor.

A heat gun can also be used but it is difficult to contain the heat to just one

small component.

A week or two back somebody was commenting on a chip that does voice compression.? A quick search on AliExpress found a module that uses said chip for a few dollars, so I bought a couple for my Bitx40s.

I figured these boards were a bit bigger!? The coin is about the size of an American quarter.

Any ideas for how to remove the tiny resistors R1 and R2 (about 1mm in length and .5mm wide) so that I can use potentiometers instead? ?

These modules are very tiny indeed!? There will be no trouble finding room for them in any enclosure.? I will report on how they work in a few days time!
