Hi all,
I'm a week or two new to the list and am preparing to jump into a K2
building project. I need to upgrade some of my gadgets, though, and one
is the DMM - my current one doesn't measure capacitance. Does anyone
have any recommendations? Would the cheap one at
http://multimeterwarehouse.com/DT9205f.htmbe good enough? It's the age old challenge of trying to not spend too
much but trying to not buy trash, too. I remember someone's email
signature from a few years ago that was along the lines of, "Engineers
aren't cheap, they just optimize cost." :-)
In that vein, any recommendations for a decent soldering station - maybe
Jameco's analog, temp. controlled $58 one with a screwdriver tip? It's
Jameco part #229673 at
http://jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&productId=129019The dinky soldering iron I have now has been used to successfully build
a QRP rig and a variety of other things, but nothing has been nearly as
expensive as a K2 either, so I figure it'd be wise to play it safe.
Thanks for any tips! (Pardon the pun.)
