[hpsdr] Soldering Question, RoHS

[Mark Ericksen]

I am assembling a kit, non-RoHS compliant, and I would like to add IC 
sockets to the circuit board. The kit did not come with IC sockets.

Can regular rosin core solder with lead be used to assemble a circuit board 
with IC sockets that meet RoHS standards?  Will the solder stick to the 
socket pins?  Are there any negatives in doing this or should non-RoHS 
sockets be used.  The non-RoHS sockets seem to be getting harder to obtain.

Thanks for the help.
