I got my PSC04 in the mail a couple days back. I thought I could use the Arduino code and hardware as is, but apparently the PSC05 connection doesn't make the PSC04 happy. I simply removed the pullup resistor and added a jumper to ground and it works fine. I simplified my code to almost nothing so as to make sure the basic transmit function works. What I found is that the XTB-IIR does not like the PSC04 for some reason. Perhaps someone could give some guidance?
This is my code:

The other files required are the x10eh library found here (author Thomas Mittet):

If I turn off the XTB-IIR, the PSC04 transmits correctly every time. This is sending the signal from a standard outlet remote from the XTB-IIR, but the signal from the PSC04 and XTB-IIR are both over 9.00. I moved to a different location and tried again and with the repeater plugged in, I was getting mostly collisions and very few successful signals.
The last check was to move the setup to the XTB-IIR and plug it into the booster port on the front of it. Using the same hardware and software, I got no collisions and all signals were received by the XTBM from a different circuit.
Does anyone have any clue why this could be happening? I made sure to try without anything plugged into the circuit just to eliminate any signal suckers/noise generators. I can play with the timing between signals, but the timing of the signal going to the PSC04 seems correct if it's working without the XTB-IIR connected or when plugged into the XTB-IIR booster port.
