I have two RF combos, the MX-800+MRF200 and MX-850+MRF250. The MX-850 seemed to stop transmitting RF the other day. Two troubleshooting techniques seem to indicate it is RF on the remote.

1) IR line of site works fine, but my equipment is behind cabinet doors. Nothing on the MX-850 is hitting the MRF250. Reprogrammed the MX-850 with my MX-800 config and it didn't hit the MRF200 at all either.

2) Reprogrammed the MX-800 with the MX-850 config and it works fine with my MRF250.

These are both probably around 5-6 years old, so no warranty. I guess I have 3 options.

a) Technically, I have an EE degree and a bunch of tools so I was thinking about trying to troubleshoot/fix the remote myself. Anybody got any suggestions of what to look for or try?

b) Anybody know repair shops I could send it to? I don't see that URC offers any sort of repair services from their website.

c) I suppose I can sell it for parts and buy another new/used one.

Thanks for any suggestions!
Steve
