I decided to compromise for the time being..... I have selected a digital
timer that allows 98 ON/OFF customized selections of time-spans per week.
This allows me to set the timer to start the heater at 5:00 AM on Saturday
or Sunday morning and stay on for about 3 hours and then shut down by
itself. The only drawback is that if I don't fly that day, it continues on
its cycle. But the cost was well worth it.... at $29 it wasn't bad.....
until I get a pager hooked up to it.

Here is a link to find this product......

If and when I can get the pager gizmo ready, I will post the results
here.....

If you figure it out, please let me know. I've been wondering about it
too. The guys at the airport will plug me in if I call and ask but it'd
be nice to just dial up.

I have been trying to figure out a cheaper alternative to having to pay
$369 to purchase a Beeper Box to turn the engine heater on in my hanger
from a remote location an hour or two before I fly. Before I try and
re-invent the wheel, does anyone know of a product on the market that
could do the same thing without the fantastic price tag. If I don't find
it anywhere.... my garage will offer all the inspiration I need to rig
one myself.
