OK, when I said "heater" I meant a combination of full heat (to evaporate the condensation) and air con (to ensure air is as dry as possible). And maybe recirculation, though I can never decide whether this helps (because the air heats up more quickly) or hinders (because the humidity of your breath gets recirculated).

If you put recirc on and a/c, the a/c will take all of the moisture out of the air as it passes through. My climate control does it all automatically - you just need select demist, the a/c kicks in, blower runs half speed and the mist is gone in seconds. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk

If you mostly have a window open, how can the a/con work? Bod
