I've been living in my current house for about two years now and I continue to have intermittent problems with some of my UPB switches. Every time I run a comm test the results seem odd to me. The noise level is always reported at zero or one (mostly zero) but the signal levels are very low.
The odd part is that the lowest signal levels come back as being on the *same phase* with the stronger signals on the other phase. The same phase switches come back with a signal range of 4-15 and the other phase switches have a range of 28-55. A couple of the switches intermittenly don't even get detected when UPStart starts up.
I have the PIM installed on a dedicated circuit and I have an SA phase coupler installed on the panel. I have a large amount of electronics (computers, TVs, a few UPSs) and I'm wondering if they are being signal suckers.
I really like the flexible configuration of UPB switches and I have a considerable amount of money invested. As such I'd like to stay with UPB but the unreliability is driving me nuts.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I wouldn't be against buying a PCS repeater or similar but I'm not sure that would make any difference.
