Ac unit has seized up in Tampa per Erron. He unplugged it and it's about 90f in the room now. We need to get a replacement in there ASAP. The installed unit was 8000 BTU and it ran 24x7 keeping it cool in there. I've been looking and we may want to size up to a replacement, and there is 208v right by the unit if we want to do that. Our limiting factor is the 24x24 inch opening in the wall. 73's -- Bryan Fields, W9CR Florida Simulcast Group, Inc.
I and TampaBud may be able to help on Saturday after the Tarcfest, on whenever we get one to install.

Still dealing with this? Sorry, just noticed the email to the group. Do we have to buy a 208v-capable unit in that case? Most units I find easily do 115V natively, not sure how this works for A/C unit power supplies/transformers. Like this one .. a cheap 8k BTU 115V from Global for about $226. ( https://www.globalindustrial.com/p/hvac/air-conditioning/window-wall/window-...) It's under 24x24 so one of these (or something better) should work.

Hi, You can get an 8k window unit for about $125 at Lowes/Home Depot. An 11.5k unit would require 240V. 73's, Bob K4NPF On Mon, Jan 14, 2019, 5:11 PM Byron Felts <bfelts.messages@gmail.com wrote:

Can you use a temporary/portable unit? I have a 10k BTU portable that I use at home in case of power outages. It’s in my storage place on Waters. If you can run the exhaust out of a window and have a floor drain for the condensate, I can lend it to you guys till you get a new permanent one installed. It runs on 110v @ 15 amps. -lu-w4lt- From: K4NPF [mailto:ars.k4npf@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, January 14, 2019 5:42 PM To: Florida Simulcast Group Public; tarc hamclub Subject: [TARC] Re: [FSG-public] Tampa Ac unit Hi, You can get an 8k window unit for about $125 at Lowes/Home Depot.
