Abstract
Coded messages, for use in the remote control of equipment for example, are transmitted and received in a manner in which substantially precludes unauthorized or accidental activation of a control associated with the receiving means. This secure communication is accomplished by generation of a plurality of carrier frequencies in a predetermined sequence and by the modulation of each carrier frequency in accordance with a digital code. The receiving means, which is initially tuned to receive the first carrier in a transmission sequence, detects and decodes the received signals and stores the decoded message whereby equipment to be controlled may be responsive to the entire received message; the receiver being retuned to another carrier after each bit of a coded message is detected.
