Additional Oddity in Activity Monitor

[JMac]

Just noticied the following "Receive RF" (repeated) at 0452 -- "N Trackball".  I do have "N" checked as one of the "specifics" under Hardware Configuration.  I don't have a clue what "trackball" refers to.

If you notice repeated commands in the activity monitor to which you have no idea where they are coming from there is a good chance you have a noise problem! the RF 0452 -- "N Trackball".   is probably a x10 command from something like a remote mouse if not noise!
In any case do a Search for Noise,  RF Noise, &  Powerline Noise [/b]you'll find lots of helpful post which will help find the source and fix the problem!

The AHP.dll file contains messages for signals received from a number of different types of RF transmitters.  "Trackball" is one of them.

I have a WGL W800RF32A receiver dumping raw RF signals in a terminal window as they're received.  Every so often, sometimes seconds, sometimes minutes apart, I see random garbage signals displayed.  I suspect that "N Trackball" you mention was random garbage which just happended to correspond to the RF signal from this Trackball device , whatever that is.  Just guessing, but it may have something to do with X-10's old "Mouse Remote" system.
