I've just had an email from Warren at www.wgldesigns.com and he says
his V572 RF receiver will allow UK users to receive 310Mhz signals
>from remote controls.

The beauty of the V572 is that is communicates via the RS232
interface of the CM11a (and I presume CM12 too). You will need a
dedicated CM12 - you can't share the same one with your PC. Better
still, unlike the X10 branded products, the V572 can receive commands
>from buy 8 receivers from X10 if you want to receive from 8 house codes.

It's powered by a 9v DC PSU which you can buy in the UK, so there are
no 110v/60hz power problems to work around.

Here's the deal from Warren. If he doesn't send you a 110v PSU he'll
credit you $3 so you'll pay $36.25 per unit (but you only need 1
anyway!) Air mail is $15 which you can split if people put in a joint
order. The V572 has other features and advantages too:

Or the W800 plugs into your PCs serial port and receives all 256
signals from 310Mhz X10 RF devices. Apparently this produces a very
fast response from RF triggers - motion sensors, remotes etc.

Sorry if this "news" is old hat to any of you, but I though I should
share my findings in case it helps someone else.

Gary.
