I just wanted to let you know that the MSC-400s are shipping this week. This is the high-end version of the MRF, which comes with the new RFX-250 RF antenna. The new antenna runs on a much narrower band, so significant RF interference should be a thing of the past. The MSC-400 also triggers macros for improved performance, rather than sending the entire macro strings via RF from the remote. Pre-order yours from your Authorized Dealer! :) Thank you, Damon DG = = = = = http://www.ProRemotes.com - Authorized Dealer & Remote Programming Services

This is so new I can not even find any info on it. Please post the Price of the 400 and a link which shows the info and benifits of upgrading from the MRF 300 which I just bought. I like the Macro feature which you just mentioned.

What I'd like to know is
1. Can you purchase the RFX250 separately and
2. Will it work with the MRF300?
I have a couple clients who have so much RF interference in the house, had to hook up an IR sensor to the MRF and disable RF output from the remote.

The RFX-250 will be available seperately, and will work with the MRF-300. The RFX-250 works best with newer remotes that have a newer RF transmitter, I'd have to look back to see which remotes are most compatible. I believe it is compatible with all MX-900 and TX-1000s. Some older 3000s, MX-850s, and MX-950s may not be 100% compatible but the newer ones will be. I've tried a some RFX-250s and I have to tell you they are truely awesome! Some houses we had some intermittent RF troubles, some relatively severe, and in ALL cases everything was perfect after I put the RFX-250 in! Once they are available, it is quite possible I will never use an RFX-150 again.

There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far. |

RFX-250 compatable with:
MX-900: All
TX-1000: All
MX-950: Build date 9/2005 or later
MX-3000: Build date 11/2005 or later
MX-850: None!!! Rumored to be in future versions.
The 850 doesn't have a narrow band transmitter. I'm not sure if it doesn't work at all or just no improvement from the RFX-150. Haven't tried it, the info above is from URC.

The very new 850s do have the narrow band transmitter, but I think they need to be much newer than the 950s and 3000s. I just had this discussion because I have a customer with 4 MX-850s and I need to check his because I will be putting an RFX-250 in there too.

Although the MX-850 will be equipped with narrow band transmitters in the fourth quarter of 2006, it will only be to improve performance with the RFX-250 version of the MRF-300, called teh MRF-350.
There are no plans to make the MX-850 work with the MSC-400. The MSC-400 is compatible with the following remotes:
All MX-3000’s with a Build Date of April 1, 2005 or later.
All MX-950’s
All TX-1000’s
All MX-900’s
Build date is found by looking in the battery compartment beneath the batteries, it is the first 6 digits.
Best Regards,

So my MX3000 with a build date prior to above can not be used with the MSC-400? I was really looking forward to converting to RS232 :(
