22. A remotely controlled system comprising: a plurality of RF transmitters, each of said transmitters having its own different non-user changeable transmitter code and having an RF emitter for transmitting when energized, an RF signal carrying a code from which the transmitter code can be derived; a receiver for receiving said coded RF transmissions; a decoder for deriving a code corresponding to the transmitter code in the energized transmitter; a processor for providing in its operate mode an operate output and for providing in its program mode a derived code for storage; a mode selector connected to said processor for placing said processor in its program mode; a memory having a plurality of addresses for storing a plurality of derived codes under the control of said processor; a memory selector controlled by said processor for identifying respective ones of the memory addresses; said memory selector identifying one of the memory addresses so that the processor, when in its program mode, causes the derived code of one of the transmitters to be stored in said memory at the one memory address, and said memory selector identifying a second memory address so that the processor, when in its program mode, causes the derived code of a second transmitter to be stored in said memory at the second memory address; said processor, when in its operate mode, determining whether the derived code and one of the stored codes correspond, said processor providing an operate output in response to derived code and stored code correspondence.
23. A remotely controlled system in accordance with claim 22, wherein the processor determines whether the derived code has been previously stored in any of the memory locations and if the derived code is already stored, the processor does not cause the derived code to be stored.
28. A remotely controlled system comprising: a plurality of RF transmitters, each of said RF transmitters having its own different, non-user changeable transmitter code and having a transmitter for transmitting when energized, an RF signal carrying a code from which the transmitter code can be derived; a receiver for receiving said coded RF transmissions; a decoder for deriving a code corresponding to the transmitter code of the energized transmitter; a processor for providing in its operate mode an operate output; a mode selector connected to said processor for placing said processor in its program mode; an addressable memory having a plurality of addresses controlled by said processor for storing a plurality of derived codes; a software controlled memory selector controlled by said processor for identifying respective ones of the memory addresses; said software controlled memory selector identifying one of the memory addresses so that the processor, when in its program mode, causes the derived code of one of the transmitters to be stored in said addressable memory at the one memory address, and said software controlled memory selector identifying another memory address so that the processor, when in its program mode, causes the code of a second transmitter to be stored in said addressable memory at the memory address; said processor, when in its operate mode, determining whether the derived code corresponds with at least one of the stored codes and when there is correspondence said processor providing an operate output.
29. A remotely controlled system according to claim 28 wherein the processor comprises a microprocessor.
