Dan,

I too use some wireless x-10, but unfortunately
they're even less reliable in our house than
bad VR. Maybe it's heavy EMF's floating around,
but I can be two inches from a receiver and have
it still hit only about half the time. Is there
a radio transmitter that works for x-10?

Thanks,

Carl K
