URC actually called me back! And explained my problem!
It does have to do with the two RF inputs being wired in parallel. Seems that you can have two RFX-250s (and I assume two RFX-250i) plugged in, one using the 3.5mm phono jack and one using the 3-prog phoenix jack without a problem. However, you cannot mix them - i.e. you cannot have a 250 in one and a 250i in the other.
BUT...you can mix 250 and 250i receivers if you wire them all to just the phoenix plug. I tried this and now both the 990 and 990i remotes work. Great!
But, unfortunately, it did not fix the problem of using two remote at the same time like I had hoped. Pressing button on both at the same time still seems to confuse the MSC-400 :(
So, I might try breaking out a second MSC-400 (or a 350 I have lying around) as a slave to see if THAT config will allow it to happen.
ahhh, i forgot about the 1/8" jack. we always hard wired them so I never had that issue.
yeah, the problem is that the msc400 can only do one thing at a time. it's not great for using multiple rooms at the same time
