Alan,

    Are the higher signal outlets located on the same "leg" of your 
house power as your CM11?  Even w/ a repeater (you do have one of 
these--right?), I don't get quite as good a signal on the outlets on the 
other side of my house power.  If you have one of the outlet to breaker 
identification tools (you plug in a source into an outlet and then scan 
your breakers to locate which breaker switches the outlet), it might be 
useful to know which breaker terminates which "problem" outlets.
