Re: X10 RF receiver to RS232

["garygfx" <garygfx@xxxxxxx>]

I have a X10 RF receiver with an RS232 interface from this company:
http://www.wgldesigns.com/v572.html

It uses the US 310mhz frequency but if you buy your X10 kit from the 
USA (because you don't want to pay UK prices) then this little device 
solves that problem as well. As a result I'm using RF kit on both 
frequencies.

I don't wish to discourage people from buying from UK HA companies 
because they offer invaluable advice and good customer service, but 
we need to pile pressure on X10.com and other US companies to provide 
UK products in line with US prices.
