***** Necessary update to my above post.... Correcting some mis-information. *****

Being able to use the RM-433 antenna with a xantech block to make a less expensive RF system when all the bells and whistles of the RTI base unit are not needed...... Won't work.

The remotes only output IR when set to stand alone mode. Once you switch them to RF, they look to the base unit to send the macros.

By the time you add the antenna and new base unit to the price of the T1, you are way over the price of an MX-800...close to double the price depending on your margins.... for a remote with limited flexibility.

I understand RTI has had enough complaints over the price of the new antenna / base unit to be working on a lower priced version..... but who knows how long it will take them to actually get it on the market.

It's a nice little remote, they just made it way to expensive to use RF, and it is very rare for us to not use RF on an installation. We have already returned the one we bought.
