TM751

  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?

[-Bill- (of wgjohns.com)]

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.
