About this product

The MRF-260 base station receives RF (Radio Frequency) signals from any remote in URC's Complete Control line of Universal Remotes, converts the RF signal into IR (Infrared) commands and delivers the commands to the integrated A/V components. It uses Narrow Band RF to assure the continuity of the commands and minimize the effect of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) that often occurs in highly-populated markets.

    A great addition to a high end universal remote

    I have this RF unit paired with a Universal brand universal remote control. It works very well tucked out of sight in the back of a wall-to-wall entertainment center. The range seems to be shorter than I expected for reliable consistent operation - perhaps about 10'. I found I could increase the range substantially by raising the unit up and moving it a little forward in the cabinet so it wasn't quite as far in the back.

    Easy to Use

    We were reluctant to try this remote because of the price & the difficult sometimes using these remotes. This remote is easy to use with little instruction. Be aware that it does require charging every 3 days but can be used while sitting on the charger.

    Perfect for my motor home

    I’ve tried several universal remotes to be used in my motor home and none worked very well if at all. Since this one isn’t dependent on an internet connection, it works great. A little disappointed I can’t program it myself but Heek Squad did a great job.

    Much needed

    Since we have our components in a cabinet under the TV, this piece of equipment is necessary so we don't have to continually open and close the cabinet doors in order to use the remote. We can just sit back on the couch and use the remote without having to open and close those doors. It is responsive and effective.

    Narrow Band base station

    This did boost the connection results though not quite to the same result I was told it would.
