Re: CM17A "Firecracker" RF repetitions.

[Charles Sullivan <cwsulliv@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Dave.  The CM17A unit I have and another person's unit
acquired via the same X10 deal have date stickers 04D15 and 01H34
and both send 5 copies.  It looks like any change would appear
only in current production units.

Regards,
Charles Sullivan
