I mean the Lirc driver, that lircd uses to send. You mentioned RPi in a 
previous message, so it may be lirc_rpi. I am not sure, but I think the 
normal version does not support no modulation, mine 
(https://github.com/bengtmartensson/lirc_rpi) however does.

Great. You can use that thing for Lirc too, using the driver Girs 
http://lirc.org/html/girs . It does not support no-demodulated sends, 
for this you have to define NON_MOD and define NON_MOD_PIN to the actual 
sending pin (probably 3).

First, it is in Hz, so two-digit numbers are not sensible (my bad). Hmm, 
probably the receiver in the device accepts it anyway. The performance 
(like range and reliability) may be suboptimal though.

Nice to hear!
