Eigeny,
thanks for the response. I know the issue was how the heck to type out a picture!

...789-44 there are terminals to hardwire
the IR receiver...Out of the
powermid receiver...Attach the +
to IR in and the - to ground on the 789-44. Nothing
to the 12v and the status. The...powermid
is designed to power a blaster so you should put
a 470 ohm resisor in series with the + connection
which will limit the current. Use the Xantech
power supply 781RG to power the block.
This is fine. I am glad this will work. However, outputs designed to power blasters already have resistors in series with them, and the Xantech bus is a high-current line, i.e. you go from that bus directly into Xantech devices, but through resistors into LEDs. 470 ohms (the value of the resistors in a 789-44)in series with a Xantech bus will give you 3 mA. into an LED, which seems awful low but works beautifully.
But
Now, how about the Pronto RF extender? Sorry if I left that out, but that is the product I am talking about, not the Powermid. And I tried this exact thing with the RF Extender, and it did not work. THEN I started this thread.
