newbie X10 Freewire Question

[Finlay Spicer <fspicer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This may have once been asked and answered but a google search yielded
little.  I have an X10 remote system   :appliance modules, light
switches, transceiver, palm pad and those stick on RF switches that look
exactly like an electrical wall plate, and they all work well.

I needed a weatherproof controller and bought a Black and decker
freewire setup with a remote, a messenger hub 2 outdoor modules etc,
because I had read that they were X10 compatible.  I programmed the
outside controller using the hub, and it worked with both the Black and
decker remote and the X10 remotes.  The Black and decker remote
controlled the X10 modules. However, I assumed that once the outdoor
wireless plug was coded, the X10 transceiver would be adequate.

As long as both the X10 transceiver and b and d hub are both plugged in,
  all is well, but with the b and d hub out of the loop, the X10
transceiver wont run the b and d controllers, unplug the X10 transceiver
using just the b and d hub, only the b and d sockets/modules work.

My question is this.  Will the X10 transceiver all by itself run the b
and d  outlets, am I doing something wrong to acheive that, or will I
need to keep both the X10 transceiver and B and D hub plugged in?

I read that the freewire stuff was programmed like the X10 socket
rocket, tried it that way, no go.

Thanks in advance for any answers
