Aerotherm preheater

Very cool... re the cell phone thing...

Just wondering if if the aerotherm can be activated by various CellPhones and do you have to use T-Mobile sim card.Has anybody used a Tanis preheater? I like the idea of using a cellphone to activate.

The switch can be activated by any phone (cell or otherwise) as long as it recognizes the number. You can program several numbers into the unit. As to using different carriers for the unit's simcard you would have to ask Aerotherm but I think so as long as you have the ability (phone that accepts the simcard) to set it up correctly. As I noted in the comments the switch is available stand alone from other sources.

Just started using the setup again as the temps are dropping, very happy with it.

I just installed Reiff Heater on my 912 for the cold months coming up.
This is my second KF7 with a 912 I had the same heater on my previous
aircraft and I purchased the remote unit to activate it as well. I live in Oregon and went with the 150 wt unit and worked well for my conditions. I had to mount an external antenna on the hangar for reception and no problems. The antenna was only 25.00. Any questions feel free to contact me.
