Re: WHO THINKS THE IR BOARDS ...OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS LEAVE MUST TO BE DESIRED

The IR board is pretty reliable by my standards.
It survived a direct short from an energized frame(reminder, ALWAYS triple check how taped your batteries are) through the board, while only destrying 3 traces, that were easily (with a fine soldering tip and tiny wire) fixed.
It lives, and the hybrid code runs excellently. The range on the recciver is very nice when your remote uses full batteries, and it lived.
