RE: (ukha_d) X10 availability in the US

Well I'm only using it for RF devices, so as long as the RR501 is on the sa= me
phase as the TM12, I guess there's no problem (at least there isn't on mine= )?

As other have said, X10 frequently do some good deals on the MS13's - when = I
looked a couple of weeks ago they were doing 3 for $50, i.e. about =A311 ea= ch.  I
probably want about 12 of them, so it's either =A3142, or =A3450 for the UK= ones.
Tough choice, but even more annoying is the huge mark-up on the UK modules<= BR> (which I'm guessing is driven/imposed by X10 in the US).

And when all this is done, there will be one major problem left:
It will only work in single phase installations. Due to the 50-60Hz
difference the timing of the modulated signal on the powerline is not
correct for 3phase. It will only work for devices connected to the same
phase.
