Bill,

If you could take a remote control from an old sony video recorder and shoot
it at an infrared recvr on the CNC box, it would be neat. Re-label the
joystick/rocker button part into jog buttons. Just dreaming. It ain't hard.
Just gathering the parts and resources is tough. A real wireless pendant. I
guess most of us have machines too small to really need such a thing?

LOL, you don't want the mrs. or kids watching tv too close to where you
machine.
