I will say there seemed to be a lot more available last time I checked -- several months ago.

If you can't find the RCRP05B, the Atlas OCAP (1056B01) uses the same interface as the RCR and is a pretty good remote too, IMO. Easy on batteries and fast macros with the extender. I had trouble getting the "common extender" to work with the pause protocol, but apparently that's no longer a problem with that remote.
Thanks! I couldn't find it new when I searched. I would never buy this remote used, given that I have a box full of them with various non-working buttons. This remote wears out fast.

You're welcome. I understand about buying a used one, and everyone's experience is different, but I started using mine in December 2013 and never changed the batteries and never wore out a button. It still works perfectly.
