It's possible I have a bum unit, but the single PAM22 I own (3-pin
X10 Pro version "AM14A" - date sticker 02K47) always reports a load
is connected, even with an open socket.  It was mentioned a few years
ago, I believe by Dan Lanciani, that the load reporting was
unreliable; perhaps X10 just permanently set the bit.

(On the other hand, the two LM14A units I own do reliably report
whether the connected lamp is switched on or off.)
