I have my rfx sensor properly installed into my receiver and i also have an am loop antenna installed, however my remote does not transmit a signal to either. Is there something i am supposed to do in order for both to receive a signal from my remote. I am using mx900 editor and an mx900 remote

Do you mean IR bug on the receiver? You have a 260 or 350 base station?

Have no idea why you mentioned AM loop antenna.

well i do have an ir bug on my reviever but doesnt that all connect to the sensor?

Your questions and answers show you to be unknowledgeable* about the URC remote control system(s) you're dealing with. You unwillingness to share your approximate geological location tells me maybe you're stuck on handling this all by yourself. If so, I wish you luck but I don't think you'll have much luck.

This is more than you can handle. Find a Pro. I think it's your only chance other than calling the remote a doorstop and using it for that.


The EXACT word is "ignorant," but that word has a bad rap these days. But really, that's exactly it. Don't be offended. Look up what it means.

Oh and I have a mrf-300 base station

Because he has a RFX250 antenna with the 3.5mm cable that comes with it plugged into a 3.5mm control input jack on the back of the receiver. Also, his AM loop and dipole FM antenna are too.

What you typed makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

AM loop antenna??? What has that got to do with any control system product?

If you have an MRF-260 base station, There is no way you have an RFX sensor hooked up, sense there is no connection for such a device on that model.
You are doing something very wrong over there. You need to find some installation manuals and read them, you have no clue what you are doing and is possible you could damage some of your equipment. An even better option, sense you don't seem to have even basic knowledge of this, is to hire a pro.

This stuff is not easy or plug & play. No matter how many idiots on other forum boards try to say it's simple. It DOES require a prerequisite to electronics & installation knowledge & experience. That is why there are professionals that do this for a living - because most people can NOT do it. Not without f^n everything up.
Just like those DIY shows. They make people want to believe they can watch a few episodes and do everything themselves. If a person does not already have some aptitude for the task, they usually don't have a chance in hell.

You tell 'im Brad!

First, RTFM.
Second, post several pictures of relevant connections, cables, etc.

I'm revisiting this because it hasn't gone anywhere.


I have no idea why you would do that, nor even how. Moving on, nobody has commented on the rest of the sentence:


Okay, your remote does not transmit. I have to assume that's exactly what you mean. Well, there's nothing AT ALL about the antenna part of this system that affects transmission of a signal to the receiver. This is kinda like saying that the grass isn't making the sprinklers come on. Right. It's not. It won't.


Yes. Send an RF signal. To receive.... send.


I'm beginning to think this thread is written by a moderator who's having some fun. AM loop antenna? Sensor connected to his receiver? ("Receiver" is what we usually call the audio/video receiver and this person has not answered any questions about the URC processor part of this setup.)
