Are remotes good only in the country of origin?  The reason I ask 
is that if someone in the UK or down under wanted a remote only 
available to someone in the US, would there be anything that would 
stop a resident of the US from sending a gift to someone in another 
place of the world?

For example, wouldn't one of the 2116 RS remotes would just as 
well in Australia as it does in the US?  $30 plus shipping might 
be worth it...

Just wondering...
