Dan, The early version of the Leviton Repeater which is now sold as the
XPCR by X10Pro was, IIRC, called the 6201. It does not handle dims well
and does not support extended code oor thr HC line of Leviton X10
devices. Leviton later released the HCA02-10E as a less expensive and
more capable repeater but still not as good as the ACT repeater you
have. In fact, the ACT repeaters were the best until Jeff Volp came out
with the XTB-IIR.  If your ACT repeater still doesn't solve all your
signal problems it is likely that the XTB-IIR will.
