Yes, it's possible, the problem is the frequency :
The US prontos (TSUxxxx) use 418MHz
The European Prontos (RUxxx) use 433,92MHz

You cannot change this frequency, except if you change a chip in the remote (which is quite hard work).

So your equipment must have the same freguency as your remote.
In Europe e.g. there's X10, Intertechno, and some others, who use this frequency.

In Europe, Infrared extender (IR to RF to IR) like the Powermid (pyramid shape), or a video transmitter (which sends back IR) use 433,92MHz

So you can use the (RF to IR) part to convert the RF from your RF remote, into IR learned by the Pronto.
Then you just need to enable RF on your Pronto for that page, and voila :-)

You often have to keep pressed the button of the RF remote while learning, and set the duration on the pronto to 0,3s or more.

But even if all harware has the same frequency, doesn't mean it'll work :
Some RF to IR converters won't be able to transcode correctly the orders, or some RF remotes use a special coding which can't be converted by the RF to IR converter...
Yes, you CAN learn RF with a RU950/RU980 :-)
