I discovered today that X10 is no longer offering the X10 XPCP tuned-circuit passive coupler.  But the coupler used in the XTB-IIR needs only 2 components, and provides even better performance than the XPCP.

Thank you for the information.
Though not the best news for X10 users.

I offered that as an option for X10 users to make their own.  From Mouser:

Capacitor - https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/75-F17734222000
Inductor - https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/815-AIAP028R2K

Both are axial lead, so are easy to connect to a 240V breaker with a single wire-nut connection between them.  Or they could be put in a small plastic case with two wires hanging out, and installed anywhere.

Thank you for this great information.
It may help some with coupling issues.
