Which URC remote controls are compatible with the new narrow band RF receivers, including the MRF-260, MRF-350 and MSC-400/RFX-250? Use the table below to determine the minimum build date of the model in question:

Remote ModelDate For Narrow Band RF
KP-900All Units
MX-350November 1, 2006
MX-450All Units
MX-600Not Compliant
MX-650November 1, 2006
MX-800Not Compliant
MX-810All Units
MX-850November 1, 2006
MX-880All Units
MX-900All Units
MX-950All Units
MX-980All Units
MX-3000April 1, 2005
MX-3000All Units
TX-1000All Units
URC-100/RF-10Not Compliant
URC-200/RF-20Not Compliant
URC-300/RF-30Not Compliant

You can determine the date of manufacture of a particular URC remote by looking at its serial number: the first six digits indicate the build date. So, for example, if the serial number is 122905 014054 then the first six digits tell you that the remote was built on December 29, 2005.

The orginal 'remote' band was 418 MHz and the new 'narrow' band is 433MHz. Is that correct?
Other than a separate set of frequencies, why/how is this 'narrower' band better?
When not in use, turn off the juice!

No, that is incorrect.

The original was wide-band 418MHz, which was revised to narrow-band 418MHz.

The 433MHz "I Series" was brought out initially to satisfy the need of international markets (hense the "I"), but it has found uses here in the states as well.

With both the remote and bass station operating in the "narrow band" (less tolerance in the frequency), it's less susceptible to interference from other devices operating at a similar frequency.
