+This PD decodes the remote control protocol which is frequently used
+within key fobs and power socket remotes.
+
+They contain encoding chips like the PT2262 which converts the button
+pressed and address settings into a series of pulses which is then
+transmitted over whatever frequency and modulation that the designer
+chooses. These devices operate at a number of frequencies including 433MHz.
+
+This PD should also decode the HX2262 and SC5262 which are equivalents.
+
+The decoder also contains some additional decoding for a Maplin L95AR
+remote control and will turn the received signal into which button was
+pressed and what the address code DIP switches are set to.
