Ok, that's Great !! I just graduated from my Skybridge Pi 4 to a Openspot pro4 and I'm much happier with it ! I'm typically lurking on TG3100 or on 91 Worldwide.  I have my choices of my Rfinder B1+ or my Anytone 878 or my 578, or my xpr 6550  Maybe we'll yak sometime ! 

N9ZAS?

I found out I could get rebuilt Aouye soldering stations cheap.

How are those compared to Weller and Hako soldering stations? 

I know those two are pretty much the go to for most hobbyists and repair shops that only use a soldering station occasionally.

I have an Aoyue SMT hot air rework station.  It works, but it’s big and clunky.  The only reason I got it instead of something else was because it was cheap.  I mean really cheap.

I’ll add you to Buddy Watch Alert.  I’m AI7KS.

Okay, if I see you’re on the air when I’m on the air I’ll call you.

Yes, it's clunky.  Same reason for purchase.
