Re: [ECS] LM14A problems fixed? John Vann Wed, 30 Dec 1998 23:47:34 -0500

I think that this problem might be the same problem that I was having
getting my Leviton 6381 to work.  It may have something to do with the fact
that a standard x10 light has 22 dim levels and the 6381 and maybe the LM14A
have 63 dim levels?

Just a thought.
