I have always wondered if a unique code could be used by the transmitter and learned by the reciever. A serial number for instance. I do not know what restrictions there would be to this as far as transmitting data but I would think that it would be possible. Then only one frequency would be necessary and the reciever would only accept comands from the correct transmitter after being programmed. Just a thought, now somebody make it so!! ; ) Mike
