Cannot get channel 6 to work
« on: March 18, 2008, 12:58:00 AM »

OK, so heres the deal, I have a socket rocket on Channel 6 that will work with my remote, and with my controller, however, it will not work with AHP, well I take that back ,it will work sometimes, like tonight, I was able to turn it off and on 2 times, but that was it, and it will also work every now and then correctly on the timer that I have set.

It is only channel 6 that does this this, all other channels work fine, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. I havent tried like 7, because I have having a HECK of a time getting these darn socket rockets to reprogram.

any suggestions?

Thanks

Just thought about something...............my refrigerator is plugged into the same outlet that the socket rocket on channel 6 is on..........could this be causing it? if so, how can I get around it? It NEEDS to be plugged in there. There is no other option.

Would something like this help? http://cgi.ebay.com/BoosterLinc-Plug-in-X10-Signal-Booster-Amplifier-4827_W0QQitemZ140215339569QQihZ004QQcategoryZ50587QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262

...or a filter like this http://www.smarthome.com/1626-10.html.

BTW.. I've see the booster that you linked to on eBay go for half that at the Smarthome auctions in the past.
