Re: Old Timer Soldering Question
Like in the old days, soldering is all about the flux! Many inexpensive 60-40 solders and the newer (and not nearly as easy to use) lead free solders don¡¯t have enough flux in them. This is why the

Re: QMX+
At 106 x 55 x 146mm it is a fair bit smaller than a K2 and not that much larger than a KX3 so still eminently portable. In volume it is a good deal smaller than an Icom IC-705. Sure not the deck of
