I am currently making my own remote system.  The 554 makes a great
keyboard scanner with wake up on port change.  If you use the right
resonator, generating the appropriate modulating frequency is easy.
The hardest part is finding a case to put it all in.

I have found a great source for cases here in Colorado.  I buy 1000
at a time.  The boards are reasonably easy.

If you are interested in my unit, contact me and I can give you more
details, or sell you remotes if you want.
