Where to buy?

Question

I'd like to go out and just buy an IR transmitter... 10-key-pad and a matching receiver... logic or switch-closures as output.

Where do I find such a thing?

If you aren't restricted to using IR and don't mind buying a Chinese product, then take a look at the unit on Ebay at I bought one of these units 8-10 months ago (a 4-channel model), and it works beautifully.  I use it to control the security camera and intercom at my home.Cheers!!!-- Dave MMasonDG44 at comcast dot net  (Just substitute the appropriate characters in the address)"In theory, there isn't any difference between theory and practice.

This might be a deal if it included a receiver, and the notice:WE'RE VERY SORRYTHIS ITEM IS TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCKkinda kills the mood.-- Dave MMasonDG44 at comcast dot net  (Just substitute the appropriate characters in the address)"In theory, there isn't any difference between theory and practice.

message Never been one to play ebay, but I got it for $3 over minimum.  Fromthe specs, it should be perfect for my application.  I'll let youknow, once it arrives.
