i want to get a soldering iron to use for putting connectors on coax and maybe later (if i get confidence/courage/balls enough) maybe try a mod of even try an small amp kit , but thats down the road . im wondering what watt rating to get . i read somewhere a very hot iron is best cause itll melt the solder b4 the heat has time to radiate into a circuit trace and melt it . and also that a very hot iron is needed to make a secure conection for the ground braid on a coax conector . did i remember correctly or is this correct ?
id like to get something at radio shack since its local . i dont need anything professional , just something for small intermittened project use . will theirs be OK for my use ? and what watt power should i look for ? pencil or gun type ? should a stay away from rat shacks and get one somewhere else ?
thanks
