This is not exactly about a PIC, but I know that some of you out there
have done some carrier current and/or X-10 stuff, so maybe you can
help me.  I have some carrier current intercoms that work quite well
as long as they are on the same half of the 240V circuit in my house
(BTW, I live in Canada, 120V 60Hz, 240V feed to the house).  The
problem is that many of the AC outlets I want to use are not on the
same side of the wiring.  I know that a similar problem shows up with
X-10, and I believe it is solved by placing a small value capacitor
across the two halves of the 240V line, but I don't know exactly what
type of cap, or what size to use.

The intercoms use one of 3 carrier frequencies (FM modulation, 1KHz
deviation) at 200KHz, 230KHz or 260KHz.  Can anyone suggest a suitable
device to link the two halves of the circuit at carrier frequencies,
tell me exactly where to put it (no cracks pleez), and alert me of
anything I should look out for (I have done quite a bit of AC wiring
in my 40 years - tomorrow - so I'm not a neophyte in that area).

TIA - Martin.

PS. maybe you should reply directly to me via email, this is quite
off-topic
