The center band frequency of RPM7138-R-ND is 37.9Khz. The receiver allow frequencies above and below this to a degree.

Since 37.9KHz is very close to 38KHz, we can narrow down the possible options for replacement to this frequency.

I found BRM-2508-ND as a possible option for your replacement part.

Other possible options at 38KHz.

Hi Steven,
Thank you for the explanation, I thought it had to be 37.9
I appreciate you.
