The skinnier CM17A is best then. You'll need to remove the PIC (or replace
it with one of your own). X-10 uses the same RF transmitter design in all of
their products (prior to the CM15A). You can find a schematic at the FCC
site - look for one of your remotes. I know the one for the UR84A is there
(your ATI remote). While it uses a SAW, the basic circuit is the same. You
just need to supply +5V, GND & Signal.
