Remote Control for my client C41-700

[jborchel]

I don't like the new remote that came with my client. D* specialist says the old remote won't work with it. I have found that it does work if I use it in close-in IR mode. However, because my setup has the client behind me I wanted to use RF. When I went to the Remote Control setup I didn't see any IR/RF choice like with the other receivers I have had. Isn't the new small remote RF? Was the specialist giving me the straight scoop when he said the old remote would not work with the C41? I also have a C31-700 client and the old remote works fine with it in RF mode.

It has been documented before and I'm sure if you search you will find several threads on it. But this is all 100% true.

The c31 uses the rc66x or 66rx. The c41 uses the rc71 or rc72. the rf chips is different in the two receivers.

Yes, you can't use the old white remotes in RF with the C41 (or with the HR44). Works only in IR.
