Re: No X-10 in dining room

["Joesepi" <JRM@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had one receptical in the middle of a circuit run that would not function
with the X10 plug-in units. The next receptical down, and the one before it,
worked fairly well. It was checked for bad connections a few times over the
years but looked fine.

I concluded there must have been some kind of tuned tank circuit that
interfered withe X10 frequencies. I never did solve the problem.
