Good afternoon all,
How is the RF on the Universal remotes? Does it work well when coupled with Lutron dimmer packs. I was doing some research and have found that with correct product line from Lutron it has the ability to be programmed to control lights as well as anything else that carries it's frequency range. Anyone out there got any feedback for me?

Howdy there GIZ and welcome to the Shack!

I am sure you will find all you need, but if we can help, just holler...

You were hollering, I just wasn't listening. Thread has been moved to the Remotes forum...

We had Lutron dimmers in our HT room back when we had an HT room and had no problems working them with the Universal remotes. They came with a small remote that I simply programmed into the Universals. We've had several of those... the 750, 850 and 980.

I Currently have an MX-700 in use with no RF capabilities. Been about 3-4 years with no problems until recently. When I replaced the batteries one day it would get stuck on the initial startup and lock up. My computor at the time with the files to reload the remote was also on the fritZ and has since been replaced. Unfortunately I can't access the uplaod files to put them on my new system. I guess all of that is irrelivant now that I have purchased an MX-980.
Here is the real problem!!! I don't have the software for the 980 and Tweeter wouldn't give it to me even with them going out of business.
Where can I download the MX-980 pack for programming purposes? It's killing me to have this beauty of a remote that I can't use

I believe I can help you there... you got a PM

First of all. Thank you for the link.

At the risk of sounding Stupid... What is a PM.
Stupid question #2:
What is the Expansion pack? I never had one with to MX-700.

PM = Private Message

Expansion pack includes extra graphics for more customization.

Sonnie,

I am in the same boat here (tweeter gone, MX-980 that I can't reprogram). I have contacted URC but no luck yet. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
