MSC 400 with an RFX..
The RFX light was lit no matter what we did..slid the ferrite core directly on the antenna of the RFX. Dead quiet!! Remote now works consistently after a couple of days of testing.
Holy crap.
For 6 years I've been tormented on one particular system. I've lost countless hours and even days TS'ing the intermittent RF induction. Of the 4 URC techs I spoke to in the last couple days, one of them mentioned trying a ferrite core because he heard someone might have had some luck maybe. bla.
I read this 2007 post today, bought 3 ferrite cores and blam. I am finally done.
THANK YOU REMOTE CENTRAL for the search feature.
Thank you ddingle for knowing more about RF troubleshooting than URC Tech has for 8 YEARS!
NO THANK YOU URC for your unfamiliarity with this simple solution to making your product work.
