I obtained a CM19A at a garage sale and hooked it up to the serial port and nothing happens. I tried to signal it with a keychain remote but did not get any response or indication on the computer that the device works even though the LED lights up. I was under the impression this device received all codes. Am I doing something incorrect?

Did you configure the software for it?

Oops, this is a MR26A.
After looking at pictures on the net I finally got my magnifier out to read the torn up and faded label. Of course it still has the same problem.
I apologize for the confusion.
It's been a long time so my memory may be corrupted but I think the Firecracker software will report MR26A output.

I have gotten it to receive and display codes transmitted from a KC674. Now I have to look for a freeware and an interface to the power line. Thanks much to everyone who assisted me with their knowledge.
