Does it have some high frequency }characteristics that I've never run into? Do people just dislike }how it looks? If you could be sure of exactly what flux is in your solder you'd be right. However, "Rosin core solder" is a generic term and covers a multitude of organic fluxes that may or may not need removing. And yes, it does look lousy--especially on a piece of commercial gear. -- Norm (strong@tc.fluke.com)
