Thanks for your time, roydonalson, that is one of the (many things) I have tried, just to be sure I did it again. In CCP its set to the same channel as the base unit and to all ports.

I only want to use the front blaster, but to test I put a remote eye in port one, and when I press a button on the remote the front light on the base unit winks, and the remote eye flashes red.

Can I ask what RF channel you are using, I have 1, 0F and possibly others, but not all of them.
