Re: Advice on two Tranceivers with the same house code...

Which model "old" transceiver?

The CM15A will avoid collisions and then automatically resend once the
powerline is clear. Some RR501s will do the same. In any event, you will see
duplicate commands when both "hear" the same RF. Usually this is only a
problem with Dim/Bright.
