Back to the original question. Does anyone know of wires, as described in the initial post, that are easily solderable?
I have been breadboarding using solderless breadboards and preformed jumper wires. I can buy protoboards that have the same hole pattern for more permanent applications. However, when I move the jumper wires, from the solderless breadboard to a protoboard, I find that the wires are extremely hard to solder. Does anyone know of a brand of these wires that is readily solderable?
Got a chunk of 25 pair phone cable. Gives me up to 50 colors to make homebrew easy to trace. Not to mention it is easy to spot a wire in the wrong row on a perf board when they are different colors.Of course you could get a machine (like an Artos Engineering) to automatically cut and strip your wire. You can makes hundreds per hour and not work up a sweat.
Those plugboard/breadboards are reasonable for the old style TTL chips and other such digital circuits, but are a poor choice for analog circuits, especially for RF work.
To set the record straight, I am only using the solderless bread boards for digital circuits. When working with RF, I tend to use Manhattan style construction on double sided board and a Vector pad cutter bit.

They even come with "tech support"!So silly...
