I'm looking for someone who will make a lead free DD altimeter. I do want to avoid the discussion if lead/ lead solder is bad, etc. I know some say that due to the shock loading in rocketry, leaded solder is a requirement. The requirement and safety issue are opinions based on facts that we can all acquire for ourselves. Many electronics are made with lead free solder successfully, and I work in an industry where lead is prohibited due to contamination issues, so we've successfully used lead free components for years. So my experience has lead me to believe lead free is the best choice for me. I even had some locator beepers made by someone who makes them, and just sent thru a special order for me to make sure they were mfg with lead free solder. They've worked successfully, however, have been unable to find anyone offering lead free in a DD altimeter.
