Measuring X10 Signal Strength. mike 05-25-05

I'd like to measure X10 signal strength to diagonse some intermitent
problems.
I found reference to the "fact" that there's a pin on the decoder chip
inside the controlled modules that has either the filtered signal or
some amplitude level indication.
But no details were given.
Before I start tearing apart modules for their tunable inductors to make
a filter for the scope...can someone expound on this indication?
Thanks, mike
