Up in Maine, although I've run all new 10 and 12 ga wiring right from the
panel, the grid is incredibly noisy. Too bad surge supressors kill the x10
signal. But, even in my house back here in NY, I have one of the leviton
whole house filters, and I still go through cm11as on a routine basis, at
least 1/yr.

Yeah, that's the point I'm at now. I wish there was something more
reliable. Oh well.
