Not being an RF engineer, I can't speak to that.  Could be that there's a
lot of crap around 300Mhz in urban areas or that's emitted by household
appliances -- I don't know.  Or it could be just Danny's place and my apt.
(I have a lot of electronics around the computer).  

So maybe a bad choice of frequency by X-10, assuming they had much of a
choice.  Or bad filtering on the RF receiver.  Beats me.

The piece in moused doesn't have anything to do with this RF
interference/filtering issue -- no hacks in the code, so IMO there should
be no problem with having the support in there.
