The string of bytes that the tower sends to transmit the message "1"
is fairly long (a "wakeup" sequence, the data and complemented data,
and checksum/~checksum).  Perhaps the remote control can't learn
sequences that long?

You could cannibalize one of the TalkRCX programs people have written
to see what the remote is transmitting.  That'd be my next step.
