For a positing to this list, list the exact hardware you are using, the 
driver, the options (/etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf if applicable), Lirc 
version, OS version including kernel, and in particular your lircd.conf.

Having said that,...

I have successfully send such signals with an Arduino + a TX433-module; 
for example http://www.harctoolbox.org/arduino_nano.html with an 
additional TX433. So it may be possible to thus use the Girs Lirc driver.

I can probably tell you more when you post the lircd.conf and your hardware.

Ohhh, and signals are "sent" or "transmitted", not "blasted"... (being 
grumpy today :-)).
