RHC: I just got back from Tried looking for the replacement chip for
that receiver. They were giving them out for awhile, but not a chance
to get one now. Seems a patch solution is to dial in and program all
32 keyfob locations with 100000. Apparently, this will prevent a re-
occurrence of the problem.

However Mark, do you know anything different that would cause you to
say to change out the receiver too ?
