My XPCR's short, unhappy life

My replacement XPCR isn't entirely dead - the test button on a PSC01 in close proximity manages to be heard.  But the XPCR doesn't hear the CM11A. I turned off every breaker except those required for troubleshooting.  My outside lights on a wire-in lamp module, different circuit, at the end of a long run manage to hear the CM11A.  Maybe the XPCR's squelch level was set too high at the factory.   :)

Could it be the CM11A (which is 1990's technology) is unable to communicate with the XPCR?  I'm not sure but I suspect the XPCR is built for the CM15A.  Perhaps Norm or other know when X10 first issued the XPCR.
I don't SELL this stuff... BUT I sure do ENJOY using it!!!

A standard X10 power line signal should be the same from a old CP290 as a CM15A or CM11A sends.

I used XPCR and Leviton repeaters back in early '90s and it was used with Enerlogic 1400, and CM11A. I am sure XPCR firmware has been upgraded but X10 protocol and timing hasn't.
