Re: X10 Transmit Buffer

["Robert Green" <ROBERT_GREEN1963@xxxxxxxxx>]

So this would be a good thing to make a CM11A usable in a large house
without requiring an in-panel repeater?   The CM11A was not mentioned as a
compatible controller but I am assuming it is.  Is it? (-;

The XTB would not be practical if you used a lot of mini/maxi controllers or
TM751s, correct?  I assume they'd all require their own XTB.

What, if any, are the issues with increasing the transmit voltage?  Will it
overload any components in receivers that are close to the XTB?

Can you tell me more about part that says "The XTB also includes an
amplifier to boost low-level X10 return signals" and whether that means it
might be modified to act as Boosterlinc does, hearing the first X-10 "frame"
and retransmitting it in sync with the second command "frame."

Are you going to take deposits via Ebay or Paypal?  I'm definitely
interested in one.
