This is a 5 channel tx. A 4 channel rx won't support the 5th channel switch.

Robb,Yes you can use all 4 channels as long as the protection button is active.I hope this information helps!Mark P.iElectronics

Hi Nancy, It actually works with the dip switches you currently have in your receiver. I have 2 doors and it operates both. All you have to do is mount it and you're done! Example: your dip switches are slate to ON using 1468. Your code to open the door would be 8641 START. It's that easy! Truly happy with this purchase. Hope this helps.

I have an old one, and it has two binary dip switches under the plate, so you can select among four frequencies. Presumably this feature exists on this model as well. By setting the different dip switches differently, the two will not interfere with each other.

RTK. I have some of these units. They work really well. I only use the transmitter portion, so I have a couple of receivers laying around. If you would them, just let me know.

I had to change the settings in the receiver to make it work. Make sure the remote control setting is set to IR remote. If it set to RF it might not work.

You need to use the specific software that is made for this radio. The problem is that the software that comes with it is not the right software. The other problem is that the drivers and software will not work with anything above Windows XP! You need to map a COMM port to a USB port. When you do so, it locks up all your USB ports and disables them. I remember having this exact same problem when we had to start using USB to serial converters to program CISCO routers. It locked them all up. I found this radio useless and un-programmable and have since gone back to using my Yaesu VX-7R. This radio now serves as a great paper-weight.

If you are using the radio that comes with it, it should have all three out of the box. If you are using another radio (DX8 for example) you will only get two modes. Which two depends on how the dip switches on the receiver are set. The settings are in the Apprentice manual. If you don't have a manual you get a PDF online.

Other than ensuring the switches are set same on receiver and remote, I don't know why it wouldn't work. I assume your remote lights up indicating it is transmitting

The manual says the the unit will prevent the impedance presented to your receiver from dropping below 5 ohms, regardless of the number and impedance of speakers connected to it. However, I don't recommend the unit as on the one I got two of the switches would not stay pushed in. I only use it for 2 sets of speakers so it's okay, but two switches are clearly defective. Impedance matching must be turned on for it to perform as stated above. Good luck.

That's the only thing I don't like about it. There is no switch. You put it on AM ( because there's less stations on AM) and you dial it in between stations so it's not picking up radio. Then you can't turn it up to high or else you get the static from AM. Just turn up the AU device and it's fine. If you move around a lot you might have to adjust AM again to get off an AM station if you pick one up as you move around. Buy them there really good for the money. And I'm cheap!

Find a station that absolutely does not come in and use that one. I've used it in vehicles that have awesome reception and it can be a pain some times because you might have to change stations on both the unit and the stereo to continue to listen. Usually the higher and lower channels are not used (I.E. 88.1 or 107.1)

If you put it on "Straight" the receiver will only put out the exact channels it is receiving from the selected input. I have found this is the best listening setting 95% of the time.

Try pushing the buttons to the right of the inputs. One controls the input and the other controls the number of channels the device outputs. I hope this helps, otherwise your device is probably doa

I didn't see any channel selection on mine. Maybe they mean something inside, like 6 frequency ranges. The amplifier didn't work for me because it amplified surrounding noise as much as what I was listening to.

Stephen G., I'm interested in connecting 2 receivers and switching between them. I have a modern home theater receiver (Yamaha RX-V477) and a vintage receiver (Realistic STA-76 circa 1975). Each one does some things better than the other and I want to easily switch between them depending on what I want to do (like play vinyl on the vintage) and watch movies on the home theater receiver. If you know of something that can do this, please let me know. Thanks.

If you open the back of the receiver or transmitter, set all of them to the same to match and be sure you are in range it should work..pretty easy. If too many frequencies between this will cancel it out. So test them close range. Should work. I did have one faulty receiver and had to send back. Now they both work great. One up stairs, one down stairs and doorbell at back and front door. Good luck!
