Radio frequency one or infrared?
IR only has a range of about 10m, and it needs line of sight.

I'm pretty sure radio does, from what I understand the IR needs a direct line of sight to work. I don't see radio having that issue.

No one is challenging your level of intelligence here. I only offered insight based on AllData. If it's wrong and you're right, thank you for the clarification. Have one of these, killer.

I don't get upset about message boards. No point. But the answer had been posted several times, and some people just don't listen. Nothing against you, but there are a lot of people who come on CF and hate any answer that they didn't come up with.
