I'm getting crazy because Remote Control II seems to learn but the ECP doesn't respond to simpad commands

I found some tips on remotecentral.com:

Electrohome Universal CCF (requires ProntoEdit 1.05)

(Package includes AVIA Navigation CCF)

By Guy Kuo

Implements controls for the following CRT Projector series:

Electrohome ECP (Low frequency IR)
Electrohome ECP (High frequency IR)
Electrohome Marquee (High frequency IR)
Vidikron Vision (HIgh frequency IR)

Includes discrete power a standby codes

"Electrohome Universal.ccf" enables Pronto control of Electrohome Low or High Freq ECP, Marquee, and Vidikron video projectors. Until now, the Pronto could not be used with the 336 KHz high frequency Marquee or Vidikron projectors due to inablity to learn the codes. High freq ECP could be controlled but with limited reliability using learned low freq codes. This ccf contains new high freq codes which were synthesized using a custom program I wrote and thus bypassing the Pronto's high freq learning problem.

Low frequency ECP codes were also generated using the same program. This created discrete power, mute, & standby codes not on the original low freq ECP remote.

Codes are provided on single panel for each class projector. The buttons are small so I recommend aliasing to the code buttons rather than directly using the macor group panels.

The "Marquee/Vidikron panel" implements the 336 KHz protocol A signals required by those projectors. The following functions are available for the Electrohome Marquee and Vidikron Vision.

So the Pronto works with this CFF!

but the cff file is not compatible with RC2 and the simple hex command copy/paste doesn't work (Used CFF Explorer)

how can I get it working? What's the right program to clone CFF settings into RC2

Thank In Advance

this is what I've done with no success:

Electrohome Universal.ccf is the working file for pronto i found in the RemoteCentral.com archive

I open it with CCF Explorer or Pronto Edit and I copy the IR Code

This is HELP button:

Button: Help
[C] 3
Position: 010059
Type: 03E7
Structure Size: 98
IR Code Size: 92
0000 000C 000E 0007 0084 0294 0084 0108 0108 0084
0084 0084 0084 0084 0084 0084 0084 33DE 0084 0294
0084 0108 0084 0084 0084 0084 0084 0084 0108 0084
0084 33DE 0084 0294 0084 0108 0084 0084 0084 0084
0084 0084 0108 0084 0084 33DE

With Decode CCF I can get more information about it:

"Function"=3
"Once" = 345.429
"TopFreq" = M

Then paste the hex code:

0000 000C 000E 0007 0084 0294 0084 0108 0108 0084
0084 0084 0084 0084 0084 0084 0084 33DE 0084 0294
0084 0108 0084 0084 0084 0084 0084 0084 0108 0084
0084 33DE 0084 0294 0084 0108 0084 0084 0084 0084
0084 0084 0108 0084 0084 33DE

into the IR-Code A of HELP command in RC2

and click Apply

now RC2 shows this informations:

Code Format=1
AvgBurstLen= 0 Tks
Carrier= 335.127 Khz
OneTimeLen= 14 Bst
RepeatTimeLen= 7 Bst
Duration= 141 ms
Signal Len= 520938 Tks

and doesn't works, any command is working

why this difference between original CCF file and RC2:

"Once" = 345.429 Carrier= 335.127 Khz

maybe the problem?

The RC2 parameters are stored in that hex code or I have to tweak it manually?
