Gene,
I was in the same boat as you. I have a transceiver bundled in ActiveHome as well as one from FireCracker. I thought I could put one upstairs and one downstairs and this will make sure all the SlimFire Controls would work. THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT WAY. I read it from somewhere else probably in this forum, in a lot of the cases, if both transceivers received the same signal, the signal will collide or if the first one received the signal then 2 seconds after, the second one received the same signal, what will happen is you'll get the command twice (if you're executing a macro, it will execute twice).
I wasn't aware of the problem until I read it, then I realized I got the problems described above. In most case, the macro executed twice.
I found the Palm Pad is very responsive and maybe you can look into it. Otherwise, you may need to get a RF Repeater. The RF Repeater is kinda expensive though.
