Re: IRM +FirM Interfacing Update

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

Hi Nik
            I think
there would be problems if using ir blaster type
emitting......i have only tested the system with stick on
emitters........Im
sure there would be feedback problems...Have you located your cat5
points
above were your equipment is....if so is there any way you can get a
thin
type speaker wire down to the equipment to use for emitters????
> And if it is, will it fit into a single gang box?
Its been a long time since i seen a UK plate.....the pcb is around 75mm
x
50mm
