the man (FP Crazy) asked for help and all anyone can do is bitch. this is why you all have so many problems with your technology, inanimate objects do not respond to bitching. with that said. i recently had problems with a similar setup (MX-3000, MRF-300). The solution i came up with was a combination of antenna placement, ir emmitter placement, and a relearn of the codes. I attribute the success of being able to control the device to the relearn of the codes. I have found that unless you completely erase the preprogrammed codes out of your editor the new dont seem to take as well. i urge you to try and relearn the codes to a 3000 then transfer to your mx editor for use in the wand models. if this does not work then perhaps i could send them to you. and please to all, if you let the machine piss you off then its already won. mcdonalds is always hiring.
