I have multiple RX Extenders and when I go into ProntoEdit and change the CHANNEL on my devices ALL the device CHANNELS change. I can have individual IDs on devices but only 1 CHANNEL.

Is this just the way things work with multiple extenders? Can only have one channel for all and different IDS?

Bob,

Yep, that's the way it works. There's a preamble (extender ID) in the code from the remote which notifies the extender whether or not the signal is for that unit. Now if you have an environment that has RF interferrence, you'll need to find the channel that minimizes the interferrence in all locations. At least that's the theory. I've noticed that the channel seems to make little difference. Other people have commented that they receive interferrence from 2.4 GHz phone systems. That frequency would be way outside what the extender uses. It leads me to believe that the extender's receiver is pretty wide open to anything in the RF spectrum. But that's just MHO.

CH and ID is only logical - both present in preamble. The RF frequency is one for all. Trouble with 2.4GHz is because of RF detector WIDEBAND!
If you want to discriminate your RF transmission to dedicated RF extender, choose corresponded RF ID - it is enough.
