Robert,
Thanks for the info... the X-10 stuff sounds great! I'll check it out.

Wow... I do not find that my MKII has a strong transmitter... in fact, it seems weaker than any other remote I've had. And I've made sure I have good batteries in it.

Anyway, I spent the day re-arranging my A/V stuff to get all the I/R reception stuff "together"... Gads... what a job! :)
I've completely programmed the MKII... (5) devices & (6) macros... and have found everything to be working perfectly. I really like this "puppy".
Even the wife is using it with ease.

...Loving my MKII...
Thanks again...
Ed

: In partial answer to your two questions...

: 1) I have the RC2000 non Mk II and it has an extremely powerful iR emitter. No directional problems.

: 2) Get the URC-3000 iR to X10 box. Check out HasPro, see the link below. There's no RF involved, rather its a direct conversion from iR to X10 powerline carrier. You'll also have to get one of the URC (One-for-all) remotes like the URC-4050 to teach the RC2000 the iR codes. This pre-programmed (non-learning) universal remote contains the proprietary codes to operate the URC-3000 and can be learned by the RC2000. I have done this and it works very well. I'm sure it will also work on the Mk II. On, Off, Bright, Dim, All On, All Off and addresses 1 through 9 can be programmed, I havn't figured out how to do addresses 10 through 16. Of course these commands can be included in macros too. Both these units together should be less than $50.00.

: Have fun
