- Does anyone have any information on extending the range of the IR port? A
- couple of co-workers and I would like to try an experiment with the HP48sx,

- been successful in hooking a small radio transmitter to the serial port?
- Im curious, so if anyone has accomplished this, please let me know..

- The IR transmitter in the HP 48 can transmit at least 6 feet, at
- least for the purposes of triggering a remote or printing on the
- IR printer. It's the receiver that's hobbled. A repeater might
- help the receiver.
