RRC unit i low temperatures
« on: 2022-01-02, 12:49:08 »
Happy new year everyone.
I have my radio end RRC-1258 placed in a side building at my cottage. I have a small heater on, which i would like to switch off.
That means, caused by bad insulation in the tiny litte shack, that temperature indoor will be approx the same as outdoor. Can result in -10-15 degrades celsius.
Questions: can i leave it there or should i dismantle the box from the shelfe and bring it home for the rest of the winter season???

Hi

Low temperature it self is no problem. Handle the Remoterig box as you do with the other electronic equipment at the site. If you bring the radio , bring the RRC also

All my equipment, including the RRC's have worked fine from -12c to +36c in an unheated shed for 9 years.  I haven't seen any temperature related problems.   I also use the Micfrobit 1289 antenna switch at the remote site.  That unit was modified to read the room temperature so I know excactly what the temperature is.
