======================================================
HouseCode is "L", Tranceived codes are "A" & "C"

What do the multiple entries mean?  What's the difference between the "Receive C1" and the "Receive C Off"
Would any "Cn" macro have been triggered?

[MichaelC]

An X10 PLC command comes in 2 parts: the address and the command. So, what you're seeing is normal for a powerline command. Modules have to see the address command before they respond to the on, off or dim part.

or some how they are in a loop.

Do you have more than one RF receiver plugged in?

[Charles Sullivan]

Almost every X10 RF transmitting device repeats the RF transmission several times.  The number of repeats varies with the device, and for handheld remotes, how long the button is pressed.

It's left up to the transceiving device (whether CM15A or TM751 or RR501) to decide whether there are enough RF repeats to warrant repeating the powerline signal.  For example, the quickest possible tap on a HR12 PalmPad button sends 6 repetitions of the RF signal.  If I remember the number correctly, an RR501 Transceiver will repeat the powerline signal when it receives 8 RF repetitions.
