Burned up RF Output on 2 UR74a Remotes???

Oh, I just use the camera on my cell phone.  It can "see" the IR, and with that, the image on its screen shows it lighting up (or not).

Yes, but... that's just a BINARY indication.

...I have a program for the Palm OS... ...You can test IR devices with it.  Run it and you then point the suspect device at your Palm's IR rcvr and you see:

• A graphical indicator
• Signal strength
• (and maybe one other thing, it's not with me right now, I can't remember)

It's quite handy to troubleshoot whether a remote is bad, low batteries, or just a single button is going bad on an otherwise ok remote.[/size][/color]

Personally,I wouldn't dismiss its' usefulness before ever even trying it out...
