Can anyone recommend a good temp controlled soldering station? Preferably
under $100 :-)
Thanks, Bob Johnson/W4MKO

I have one of the Circuit Specialists models
http://circuitspecialists.com/prod.itml/icOid/7307
at $35 a real bargain.  I've been very happy with it and am using it to
build my K2 (about half done, and I'm pleased with the soldering.

I've used the Weller WT-TCP (or something close to that...working from
memory here) at work in the past, and this does just as good a job.

Bob,

I have been quite pleased with my Solomon Soldering station - just a bit
more than half  of your $100 target.  It is sold by Marlin P Jones &
Associates, www.mpja.com (maybe others too).  I have had the one with the
LED bar display for over 4 years now and have not had any complaints.  Get
some extra tips while you are at it so you have a variety for different
puropses - the tips last a long time with proper care, I just replaced my
first tip today after building about 25 or 30 Elecraft kits (I've really
lost count).

73,
Don W3FPR
