Lionel Remote MTH uncoupling track

Does anyone know if you can use a Lionel remote on an MTH uncoupling section of track. They look the same and I know the switch remotes work but I am not sure about these. The MTH remotes feel cheap like they could be broken easily. I am ready to install my track on a new layout and will purchase Lionel controllers to go with the MTH track. Any help would be great thanks.
