[hpsdr] Tools

Watch out for Mouser flux pens.

I couldn't find Phil's gallon (4 Liter)
jug of Kester water soluble soldering
flux, so I ordered several 2331-ZX flux
pens from Mouser instead.

The pen label states a shelf-life of
2 years at 25 degrees C.

However, the manufacture date on the
flux pens is 30/Mar/2005.  I received
them with about 2/3 of their shelf life
gone.  So now I have about 8 months to
use them up.

Well, Atlas and Pinocchio will be a
good start.
