Hi Paul

Some care is required when purchasing

There appear to be 3 versions...
The differences are all to do with the serial interface :-
The oldest apparantly has a usb type plug on the bottom ( not seen this)
Then there are two with RJ45 plugs on the bottom
On the older of these the port runs at 2400 baud and the xml data excludes
the historic data
The newer runs at 9600 and includes the full data stream

>From personal experience, ecogadgetshop, which is an electricity
compnay
shop, is selling  the older one with the limited data, but it is cheap at
=A328 currently

I bought a new receiver from the Current Cost shop on ebay for =A315. They
also sell the complete kit for =A345 and serial cables for =A37.95
