Please see my previous post on this thread regarding (5/30/99) regarding the use of a signal bridge. If you want reliable X-10 signal transmission buy an *amplified* signal bridge. I always recommend this approach but unfortunatly many people choose to use an non-amplified signal bridge and find that they still have X-10 transmission problems. The difference in price between an amplified bridge and the non-amplified bridge is about $150 but there is a big difference in performance. If you buy the non-amplified version it won't do anything to help with potential AC line noise generated by TVs, printers, surge supressors, etc. You then would have to buy individual noise blockers for those "noisy" devices at about $30 a piece. But first you have to find those "noisy" devices and without test equipment it is a trial and error procedure. In the end, it is usually less expensive to install an amplified signal bridge and a lot less hassle. It installs the same way as the non-amplified version. BTW, we offer all of these products.
