Anyone in Canada looking for an RCU810, they are available at XS Cargo clearance stores for C$19.99.

I just bought 2 and they look just like the one I have working with JP1. Have not added the JP1 mod yet. They may be the older "A" model which has the clock reset problem.

The "A" version came in a sealed clister pack, whereas the "B" version comes in a cardboard container. I don't know that the A/B thing is a valid indicator of whether the remote has the clock reset problem though.

They are in sealed blister packs. The one I've opened has a label in the battery compartment "RC810-A 1221" 1221 I think is the date code. My old remote is labeled "RC810-A 5114"

I would assume anything from xscargo is a defective version. The store sells a lot of items with manufacturer defects. Yes they have amazing looking prices, but buyer beware with them. You are getting only what you pay for.

If you're planning to add a jp1 connector anyway, the reset problem isn't a big issue. You can make a simple jumper plug that goes on the JP1 connector when you're not using JP1 and prevents the reset.
