Re: IRM +FirM Interfacing Update

["Frank Mc Alinden" <armagh@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Nik
        Yes there would be some
desoldering required if mounting the pcbs
onto blanking plates......You can get some stick on standoffs to hold
the
pcb...Also the ir receiver is located at one end so it may require some
surgery as well....
