A timely topic...

I bought an IRA-3 from these guys and I'm in the process of returning it.  I had a hell of a time trying to get this thing to work with LIRC.  I had lots of configuration hassles and it turns out that libirman (used by LIRC) has a bug in it that fails to set the proper number of stop bits for an IRMAN device.  I don't know how that slipped by for so long but once I fixed that, I get the IRA-3 initialized.  However, despite all the work I put into it the particular unit I have seems to be defective.  While it initializes correctly, it can return multiple codes for the same key on the same remote.  I confirmed the problem wasn't my remote (i.e. I see this no matter what remote I use).

I sent notes to the "info", "sales" and "tech-support" email addresses asking for help and didn't get any response.  Finally had to call them on the phone and by then I was so upset I just wanted to wash my hands of the thing.

In summary, I would not recommend this particular reciever although I'm willing to concede that my case may not be typical.
