Learning RF codes is trivial if you know the RF carrier frequency and can find an RF receiver for that frequency. Inexpensive RF receivers to accomplish this are available in 300MHz, 303.875MHz, 310MHz, 315MHz, 318MHz, 418MHz, 433.92MHz, 868.35MHz, and 916.50MHz. Most of them can be tuned over a fairly broad range.

You can capture the codes using a soundcard and view the waveforms in any Wave editor.

IR is equally trivial. You just substitute the proper IR receiver for the RF receiver.

I have published details, including schematics and screenshots, at...

what would be the purpose, unless you can convert this info into Pronto compatible signals?

Once you have the codes they are easily converted to Pronto codes which can be sent by any RF capable Pronto or Pronto-clone. Had you bothered to visit the URL I provided you would have read, "I will supply software to convert the .WAV files to other formats and to generate X-10 (and other) codes from scratch."

I have modified a TS1000 to send RF.
