The manual is not very forthcoming and I see why people prefer RTI now. RTI is more straight forward. Its a whiz compared to URC.

Can someone please give me the steps for making a macro on the mx850 editor.
do i need to hit the record button first or the command list or the macro button. nothing states the order. I'm all about simple. If RTI was a little cheaper, I could probably sell more of them. I have a T2C and i love it....was a breeze to program.
Nothing like "drop and drag".

But this, this i need a clue on.

mx-850 editor is ancient at this point.

You click record and then use the remote image to click through the steps you want. When you are done you click save. You can edit and remove extraneous steps afterwards if you need to. You can also insert delays and page jumps using the buttons to the right of save.

This is all your opinion and nothing more. You looked in a product manual it seems to learn how to program. YOU prefer rti because you are familiar with it. Starting with a 10+ year old model with old software doesn't really offer a fair comparison either. URC is easy and fast to program. I know both platforms and prefer URC.

I'd like to see any RTI remote with the bottom chewed off by a dog still work as the 3(!) MX850s I had a dealer bring to me once.

That is if you can still read the numbers printed on the buttons of your T2.

URC is every it as easy to program as RTI.

Some people pick it up faster than others.
