Thank You for the link. I had been using IrMaster which is an older version.

Unfortunately IrScrutinizer doesn't generate a recognizable code. When selecting Nec-rnc and putting 1 in the D box and 55 in the F box with blank in the S box the code generated doesn't work.

here's whats generated

0000 006C 0022 0002 015B 00AD 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 05F7 015B 0057 0016 0E6C

The preambles are different with the generated one being 0000 006C 0022 0002
as opposed to 0000 006d 0022 0002

The lead ins/outs are different as well.

I'm open for any other suggestions.
Thanks
