You're welcome. May I suggest that you plug your noisy units into one of
these
1626 FILTERLINC 5-AMP PLUG-IN NOISE FILTER
Normally $24.99
Hot Deal $19.99
http://www.smarthome.com/1626.html
and the problem should go away. Worthington and others sell them as well
(X-10 and Leviton brands). Unfortunately, no modern X-10 installation can
really survive without filters anymore. The powerline's a lot noisier than
it was when X-10 was born. Lots of new equipment is powered by switch mode
power supplies and sadly, many are designed so that they either emit noise
or cause X-10 signal attentuation. I also recommend you buy a cheap but
very useful ESM-1 X-10 signal strength meter. It will help resolve any
future issues quickly.
