That's right. It's one 6 hr block per UTC day. Your first block was 0026-0626 9DEC *UTC*, so your next block needs to be on 10DEC *UTC*. For instance, I need to wait another 25 minutes or so to start my 2nd block since I'm in the Eastern time zone. Hope that helps! 73 Matt King AK4MK - 070 #1708 PODXS 070 Club Executive Director On Sat, Dec 9, 2017 at 6:33 PM, Dan Morris <dbmorris315@...> wrote: If I understand correctly about this Sprint.

My 10yr old Lennox G71 furnace will be replaced on Tuesday with a Lennox SLP98 due to a flood. It comes with a "no RFI" guarantee. GL de Barry |

Re: A/C Replacement Advice Pls!
#acreplacement
Wow ! This is a really helpful place ! Rick got most of the right information here from a few down his way. I admit I know very little about A/C units because up North we don't use them as much because when summer is over we need heat. Woke up the other day freezing (forgot to put plastic barrier on window) and the temp was 20F with snow on ground. Judging from the wx reports I get from FL parts it can get hot down there and A/C is not a luxury. Good work with the info !

Greatly appreciated. Here's what I know so far: 1) Our 16 year old unit is a Lennox that uses R-22 refrigerant. R-22 will no longer be manufactured or sold after 2020 (Thank you government!) So even if I repair and recharge the current one, it can't be repaired after 2020. - New unit is only reasonable answer. 2) The contract will definitely have a "no RFI" clause added. 3) Rheem and Goodman get good internet reviews. 4) From what I read on the internet, the RFI problems come mostly from the "variable speed" models. They are supposedly the best for comfort, but 2 stage compressor models and single stage compressor models are still made. So I think we are looking at an old style single stage compressor, and do not replace the constant speed air handler motor please! Our old unit made no RFI from the compressor, the control unit, nor the air handler. More later. Again many many tnz -- Rick - N7WE 070 - #1602 |

Matt beat me to the punch. Exact same scenario here with the new Trane. Electric bill cut exactly in half, system runs much less, extremely quiet, controls humidity in the house +/- 2% and zero RFI.
