Hi All
I was looking a a data sheet for the UM3758 remote control and was thinking
to mod it to work with a pic.
At this time it's at the bottom of the pile I could dig it out and see where
I got it from and if it's the same as one published in Elektor Electronics
April 2000.this was for I think a Large disply Radio Clock? using a 16c71
and a radio remote.

Regards Art
