I should be taking the time to look up the RF frequencies, but you guys are often right there with the facts.

Anybody know if the RF sent out by the URC MX-980 remote will work with a Marantz RF receiver meant for use with the RC-5200? Both receivers are just that, receivers, not processors, which made me wonder. A client finally needs to ditch her RC-5200 and it would be nice not to have to buy an RF receiver for her.

Thanks.

Probably not. MX980 is 418mhz. The Marantz, designed for US and international use, is likely 433mhz.

Even if you got a MX980i which is also 433mhz I think the encoding of the RF signal wouldn't be registered by the Marantz receiver as URC includes the RF routing information in the RF output for the MRF base stations.
