Re: X10 RF equipment - is there a difference between UK and US gear?

[nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Dave Houston)]

You haven't provided enough detail about which gear you want them to work
with.

The RF frequency used in North America is 310MHz. Europe uses 433.92MHz.
(Until about 5-6 years ago the UK used 418MHz but since then uses
433.92MHz.) European devices that receive RF will not work with devices that
transmit 310MHz.

Europe allows much, much higher RF output power so range will be better when
using devices made for Europe.
