Extender for URC-6820/8820/10820?

I'm just wondering if anyone was working on an extender for the 6820, 8820, 10820 remotes. I have an 8820 with a JP1.2 cable, so I would love to extend the remote.

Also, is there a how-to document describing how to modify a current extender, or even how to write one from scratch?

What would you want an extender to do in the 6820 family?

An extender for a JP1.2 remote would take a totally different approach than an extender for a JP1 remote. Nothing in existing extenders would be very helpful.

I don't believe anyone has attempted an extender for these remotes.

To write, or even modify, an extender you would need to be very comfortable coding in assembler. For most JP1 remotes, that would be Samsung S3C8 assembler, but for this model it's Motorola (aka Freescale) HCS08 assembler. If that describes you, let us know and we'll see if we can help get you started.

Well, it is not exactly an extender - maybe an extended extender?
I am starting to write the code for an 8820 from scratch.

See: http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7950 for more details

I certainly would appreciate some of the details you might have, though.
