Sorry but thats not very good practice or science come to that. If in
the RF I work in we had unsoldered joints there would be fires and
smoke;!..



Hi Tony,
A few years back I stripped out a rack that had contained Band 3 bases.
One of the N to N leads I re-used was O/C when I took a plug apart the
pin had never been soldered. There were a number of black arc burns on
the inner copper. I often wondered how many faults they had had
reported that they never found!
