Daystar QUARK - Operating temperature range

Post by Merlin66 »

Hmmmm
Just reading the manual for the new QUARK Ha system...
The recommended ambient operating temperatures are 40 -100 deg F (5 - 38 deg C)
May be an issue getting it "on band" on a typical Australian summer day.... :o :o

You are not alone! A lot of sunny days here are below 5C !!! So, we will need to make an outer additional heater!

And you need to make an outer cooler (much easier, with a can of ice! or Peltier ).
