Agreed, if your one of those people who has to have every single function working for him for every device and need to customize it right down to the bones it will be a pain in the @(# to program. However, it will handle normal functions nicely. It will work with any base unit. Do me a favor, when you saved the couple of hundred bucks report back here and let us know if you have any issues that would require the narrow band.

By the way, the reason why I know the MX-350 is good and I am reccomending it is because I have an entire closet FULL of all types of remotes , from MX-900s to RTI's entire line, to Pronto to Monster, yet I still have an MRF-250 in my bedroom with the MX-350. never thought about switching. It's fine.
