I think I now have some ideas what is going on.  It appears to be a
phase issue.  When the oven/dryer is on, everything works all the time.
 However, what is weird is that that the CM11a controls EVERYTHING
without an issue.  Yet with the IR543, it doesn't seem to be able to
get the signal to the CM11a.  If I turn the oven/dryer on, it works.
It is kind of peculiar, but it seems like I need a coupler.  Any
suggestions on the best/easiest ones to use.

Thanks.
