4. Where can I buy it? We have about thirty Radio Shacks in my area and when you call them about availability they all just laugh and say maybe in a month or two. I don't see it online anywhere except in the UK.

I was able to locate them at more than one Radio Shack store here in Northern Virginia. However, for me, I purchased one and returned it for a One For All 8811 remote with the JP1 connector already in place.

any word on how soon this will be released? or where to get more info on this. i was wondering if anyone had explored this possibility

e34m5,

In regards, to item 1, can you give an example of a macro sequence where you woul need more then 15 key presses? The reason I ask, is that as an application engineer for UEI, this type of feedback will allow us to internally review how our SW is structured.

Just FYI, when you use JP1 you can program device specific macros, and these are nestable, which means one macro can call another, so you can get much more than 15 steps.

I always call that concatenating macros because the LAST step of a macro can invoke another macro (whether or not you defined it as the last step, it will function as the last step, because a concatenated macro won't return to the calling macro). Of course concatenating is plenty if you just need to get more than 15 steps.

But if you want "nestable" macros with JP1, only the 811 and 15-2104 extenders can do that (invoke a macro in the middle of another macro).
