I PLUGGED MY NEW TM751 TRANSCEIVER INTO A 50HZ 110V SOCKET, IT STARTED HUMMING AND LATER SMOKE CAME OUT OF IT. WHAT CAN I DO NEXT?

It sounds like it is defective.
This was on a standard power grid; not on an off grid inverter? Off grid inverters and most x10 modules do not get along.

A 50HZ 110V SOCKET

Where are you getting 50Hz? Are you in Japan?

What do you do? Buy one that was designed for 50Hz!

I am afraid you have turned that one into a paper weight.

Never, EVER let the smoke out. Techs charge LOTS of money to put it back in!!!

Bill; I turned a TM751 into a paper weight with an UPS on battery power. They do not like modified sine waves.

Joined yesterday and never has come back. Wonder if he's just a "hanger-on". His e-mail is a YAHOO! account with no foreign suffix, which would indicate a US address.

50HZ current? Not in the US or Canada.
