Hello,
I just bought an SR731 RF Repeater, and when i hit the test button. the light on the front lights up and it sends the test signal and turns on my test light, and then off appropriately. However, If i use a remote, it does not seem to repeat the signals. There are no lights indicated on the front of the repeater, and i get no signal improvement. Does Anyone know my problem?
I am using the X10 Palm Pad Remote (HR12A)
Thanks

You may have a bad unit. My unit has 2 red LED's that will flash. One comes on and goes out when it receives a signal then a couple of seconds later another comes on and goes off when it sends (repeats) the signal. You do need to be looking straight on at the unit to see the lights clearly.

The SR731 has a rechargable battery and its performance may be a little flakey when first plugged in if the battery is fully discharged.
After being plugged in for an hour or so, if the two SR731 LEDs don't flash in sequence when a HR12A button is pressed (and you know for sure that the HR12A is otherwise working), then I would agree with KDR that you have a bad unit.
