Hello All,
  I just moved into my new apartment this weekend.  However, there is some wierd
stuf going on. Heres the deal:

  I can plug modules in anywhere.  They work great with mini-controler.
However.  Only some work with RF remotes and the RR-501 base.  I don't
understand.  Perhaps it's not transmitting `strong' enough to jump phases?  I
don't know. Heres the catch though:  If I turn a lamp module on with the mini
controler, the remote can dimm/brighten it, but it can't turn it on/off.  I'm at
a loss for what to do?  I've tried three different RR501's and 4 different house
codes (B, M,O,P) and various unit numbers.  I've tried plugging the RR501 into
diferent outlets, and it seems to be seperated by phases. I come to that
conclusion because it only allows either one half the bed room and half the
family room, or the other half the bedroom and the other half the family room.

  Any ideas?  What has me is that the mini-control works great, but the RR501
paired with any RF (Palm Pad, Hawk eye, 6-in-1) don't seem to cut it.  Any
suggestions?

  Thanks.

-Mitch
