Etc - the one I got was VERY sensitive to being in exactly the
right place to receive the IR signals from the transmitter
circuit. Eventually it stopped working completely, and I replaced
the sensor with an IR detector from Radio Shack, which got me
"back on the air". One of the problems is that you can't tell
what's going on since the IR signals are invisible. If you can
scrouge up a tv camera (I know b&w works  - not sure about color)
the pickup IS sensitive to IR and you can see it flash on the
tv screen...
