LOL good point about drinking while working, fortunately I dont drink.
Like i said i know its a 433Mhz signal, and from what i have been able to research it doesnt seem that the signal is keyed to any specific unit. so i dont understand why i cant just grab the resulting RF burst and then just retransmit that.
Kind of like recording an IR signal to an audio wave form and then playing it back on an iPod with an IR diod wired for connection to the headphone jack.
