I looked up the FCC ID for mine.  It's allocated for use between 314.5
and 315.5 MHz, which is I'm sure to allow cheap oscillators to be used.

Found it with the TVRX at 314.875 MHz.  Looks like OOK with a minimum
pulse width of 250us.  Like yours the sequence seems to change with each
key press.  See attached JPEG.
