I believe this is a JP1 compatable remote. If so where and how do I plug in the cable, I don't see a place to put it.
Thanks

it is jp1 capable, but it doesn't have a connector.
search yahoo for 4 wire interface. I built the rj11 version, works great. |

IMHO, with the time, expense, and skill required to make the 2103 JP1 compatible, I just don't think it's worth it (and I have 2 of 'em).
If you're still interested, check out the Stereo-15-2103.txt file. There's also some pictures in the Photos section. _________________ Mark |

Mark is probably right. It was pretty tricky soldering on the board.
Mark, was it you that came up with the rj11 version? |

Nope... I did, however, use a 4-cond stereo jack on one of mine to bring the RESET line out to the interface.
And I agree... cutting and/or soldering to traces on the PCB is difficult. All in all, it's better to spend $20-$30 for one of the current popular models (8810w, 2116/2117, etc) that are JP1 out of the box and are better supported by the group. _________________ Mark |

I just got a 2117 a couple days ago at RS, on the shelf at $49.95, but it rings up for $29.95. Seems to be a fine remote. I like it better than the 8810w or the 2104. It just feels better in the hand, and the buttons are better for operating without looking at the keys. |
