The RC68X programmer is a 55 key hand-held device that generates all the IR codes necessary for the set up and operation of Xantech IR remote controlled products. Such products include models ZPR68, RAT1, MIRV1, GATEKEEP-IR, etc. The RC68X is an upgrade of the previous 32 key RC68. While providing additional key-code command capabilities, it retains all previous RC68 programming in a similar 32 key layout section on the keypad.
