Yea! Yet another brand of DTA!

Ron, I created a new lirc config that, with the help of the list, I 
confirmed works with both the Motorla DTAs I was handed and the 
frequently used Pace DTAs.

Are you using lirc? Can you at least temporarily plug in an IR blaster 
and tell me if my config works with that DTA?
