Vicky,
If you think the freq is off a bit, try tweaking the protocol in PB.

Could you post an IR file of the learns from the upgrade as I'd like to see how close they are, and I think that's what John was trying to get at.

An IR file, ewwwww. I hate learning to a remotes, although it does have its advantages with the new IR8 features. I learned 6 keys to the 15-135 remote, Keys 1 to 3 correspond to learns from the first IR file that John posted. The bumps are in the right place, so any tweaking is going to be from protocol builder.

Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades.

Tip: When creating an upgrade, always include ALL functions from the oem remote, even if you never plan on assigning them to a button. Complete function lists makes an upgrade more helpful to others.

John, I just looked at the learns in Vicky's IR file and they're a perfect match for the learns that you posted. Therefore, I have created an IR file that is ready to be loaded into your URC-10820 remote, as this eliminates the chance of user error on your part. Could you give this a try and see if any of the buttons work (press the CBL button first as that's where I put the upgrade).

Rob,
Downloaded file and it works. Could only do a
quick check as I am going out the door as we
speak. Will test it further later.

Okay - what have I been doing wrong?
Every other file I have downloaded or
learned and made myself has worked.

I figured out the problem, and it's not your fault. RM was corrupting the upgrade, which it does every now and them with "Manual Settings" upgrades.

Here's an RM version:

Rob,
The RM file works fine and I converted it to my Atlas which also worked.
Glad to find out it wasn't me, I thought I was doing it the right way but after only a couple weeks doing this I was not positive.
I still haven't checked all the codes but all the ones I have checked work fine. It got hot and muggy today so the AC was running hard and I didn't want to stress it out by changing the settings too much.

Thanks again to you, Vicky and anyone else involved for doing this.

John
