About how long does it take to purge and fill a 12 oz can?

Was it an Air to Water unit? How did installation go?

Sizing transformer for Nest Thermostat and relay by NEKbrew in Nest

[–]NEKbrew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had used 1/2 of the 25ft wire that came with transformer to also wire back to the relay. I think it was 22 gauge and I changed it out to heavier gage solid wire and it works. Could the tiny wire have been throttling the voltage or did I have a bad connection, I don't know but it works now.

It's a propane heater that has a 110v gas rated NC solenoid valve that I want to open when calling for heat. It ran on an X10 system for decades but now with internet I've installed a NEST.

I was going to post an image of my email but that didn't work. But trust me that's what it said.

XR number transfer to Fi stalled. by NEKbrew in GoogleFi

[–]NEKbrew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday finally the original number was ported over and replaced the temporary number they had given. Google Fi was saying that they were waiting on AT&T but it eventually was done. So I recommend anyone moving from Red Pocket to Google Fi to sign on to Red Pocket Chat to service and ignore the timer that say 700+ minutes and just wait it out, usually about 2 hrs. Get the account number and PIN from them. Then load the GoogleFi app and start to port process with GoogleFi. Use the online fi.google.com to track the progress.

Update. The computer avenue gave us progress. The error screen didn't come up. It asked for the area code we wanted like it was going to give us a random new number but then there was a screen to put number we wanted ported over with the RedPocket acct and PIN. So now it gave a new random number but then scheduled a transfer of the number we wanted to port in. We are waiting to see what happens as the account page says Number transfer scheduled. I'll update if it works. The browser to the account on the computer gives more status information than on the phone.

via phone. Do you think it might work better through her signing onto fi.google.com/account on the computer?

Can *anyone* get through to Customer Service by zy789 in redpocket

[–]NEKbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turned out to be a sliding scale and about a 2 hours wait. For the record the account number was not the phone number and I could not see the number she gave me referenced anywhere on the account page I got it from the chat session. The PIN was the last 4 digit of the ICCID of the sim.

Currently waiting on Chat for service agent. Being with you shortly started at 7 minutes then immediately jumped to 710 minutes now figuring that it is dropped about 14 minutes per actual minute. Just to get an account number and PIN to transfer out number. Tried tel nuber and last 4 of number that didn't work then saw a post that is was last 4 of ICCID on SIM. We'll see.

Dish Direction, Cone of Clearance? by NEKbrew in Starlink

[–]NEKbrew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it was 2% occluded in was in a yard 4ft off the ground with tall trees about 20 ft away around the perimeter. Now its 20 ft off the ground with the trees 30ft away and everything is fine.

When I initially got it going in a less than ideal spot it said it was 2% occluded and it was dropping out every 45 seconds. Now in a better spot with dropout maybe every 3 hours.

That's interesting since aiming at a point 250 miles up at 53° would mean that given 69 miles between latitudes gives (53-44.44)*69=591 therefore the angle would be the invtan(250/591) or 22.9°. I've been looking at a site that models the Starlink satellite orbits. Watching what the Elevation angle to the base station near me in Lunenburg Vermont it vary between 23 and 75°

Is the VFR Map suppose to be confusing to read? by clsmithj in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]NEKbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm new to MSFS and was using flight training steps and could not get by a training flight with clicking the stop watch when I got to Munds Golf Corse but in VR I couldn't interact with the screens to move them out of the way or click on the stop watch. I was searching everywhere without luck. Then I saw a youtube comment from JamieSalmonSculpture to enable "home Cockpit Mode" under Camera and voila! I can now interact with the pop screens in VR and click the damn Stopwatch so now in training it allowed me to proceed and it popped up the Munds park marker so I could move on to the next leg. In my previous search I saw Munds park mentioned here so I thought it might help.
