Because receivers are by necessity very sensitive devices that don't like= running close to digital stuff. Also, the processor/IO requirements of receivers are far more = diverse than transmitters in this type of application, so it would be much harder to make a single = device to cover a wide range of applications at an acceptable price=20 -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
