How old is the CM11A that you measured? Mine is only a little over 2 years old. It's just my observation that I have both devices plugged into the same wire, about 3 feet apart and the Insteon PLC's X10 signals reach way farther than the CM11A's. Could be that I have a bum CM11A...I don't care at this point since it is not doing anything useful at the moment other than logging activity from that lone SwitchLinc. -- Scott Knight sc...@sc... |
