I back-engineered one to use phone keypad tones which were fed to a remote control. Can't say what the frequency response is, the mains-to-circuit couplers are small canned transformers (Toko in the original, which I had copied by a winder). Being small perhaps they would be OK at 20kHz. Let me know if you want a look and I'll draw them up and post to a page later -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
