I've an RS 15-2117 8-in-one remote with it's RF base station. It works great save one problem. The place where the equipment to be controlled is a little too noisy, RF-wise, to put the base station right in the cabinet with them. I can put the base station a few feet away (the distance of it's suppled IR emitter cable) and it works fine. However, I'd like to have a little better coverage than that one IR emitter allows. The cabinetry doesn't really allow for placement of the emitter such that it'd cover all of the devices properly. So I'm figuring on adding one or more emitters. I seem to recall this is not just a simple 'split the wiring' situation but needs some arrangement of resistors and such.

Anyone got schematics or tips on doing this properly? Like whose IR emitter buds are the least expensive that are known to work reasonably well? I could make some of my own if needed.

Thanks!
