A question or two about WGL's V572A

Hi everyone and David!

So, as you know, I have made the decision to go for a whole-house transceiver, complete with an external whip antenna. Cool!

Now, I was just wondering two things:

1 - I know I need another piece to make it work... the PSC05 or a Powerlinc module. I understand that the PowerLinc module is better since it Transmits & receives extended X10 codes. I hate to sound like a noob, but just how important are these extended codes. Right now, I am really just using the usual housecodes with 16 devices on each.

However, I _do_ plan to set up my cameras soon, complete with pan/tilt/etc. Do the cameras use extended codes? I really am not sure how important they are...

Sounds to me like I should spend the extra $15 and go for a PowerLinc rather than the PSC05, correct?

2 - I notice there are different PowerLincs. The 1132CU, 1132CUP, 1132U, etc. Are all these compatible with the WGLV572A? Some are USB, some are serial, some have memory built-in, etc.

I will be using the CM15A to store macros, so I guess I don't need that functionality.

Any words of wisdom are welcome. I'd love to make the purchase, but I won't do so without your advice!

Thanks!

Mike
