Re: X10 availability in the US

["garygfx" <garygfx@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Pete,

How can you use MS13a motion detectors in the UK? They don't use the 
same 433Mhz frequency that UK compatable X10 receivers use. The US 
110v RF receiver would surely blow if you plugged it in to a UK 240v 
socket? It sounds like you know what you're doing. :-)

Yours curiously,
Gary.
