Well, I think we can agree on at least one point Steve! This will also be my last comment on this topic, and then I’d like to turn the thread back to a solution to my particular issue. I read all your points and examples and believe me, I do understand your viewpoint, but you are right, I...

In my original troubleshooting session, I completely shutdown all power to the generator, (including the trickle charger and current sensing circuits), and then actually turned it on and let it run. Neither case had any significant change to the noise level. Eventually, I had every circuit in...

Ahhh, saving the best for last this morning! :) Well thanks for thoughts 123, but if your condescending and sanctimonious posts on this thread are your idea of a welcome, then you’ll have to forgive me if I respond in kind. I notice Rupp was reprimanded for being rude and unhelpful, but I...

No aluminum, all copper.

Good idea, I'll check it. They did break the underground feed line into the house during the excavation process, and patched it with a splice ball. Maybe there is some leakage. Thanks

Hi Steve- I understand your point, but I still think I'm not getting mine accross well. First of all, I'm not interested in *blaming* anyone for my current situation; I take responsiblity for my decision to try UPB, and am only interested in making it work (if possibile), and improving the...

Thanks Digger, that was really my only point and you stated it nicely.

They are right next door to each other, so I'm assuming they are both on the same transformer. Is there a way to tell?

To Steve, 123, and AnthonyZ: Maybe I just have a higher quality standards when it comes to my consumer electronics. A product that fails to work reliably for 10% (or even a couple %) of the customers is never going to grow beyond a very small niche for the very few who don't mind constant...

It is good old First Energy grid power, the generator is only backup. As I said earlier, while testing for noise I removed the generator from the circuit to ensure none of its components were adding noise, regardless of whether it was operating or not. The main feed from the transformer is...

Thanks Steve, your post is helpful. I did not realize that SAI is still using Gen I hardware; I thought everyone switched over. I do have a couple of HAI switches (Gen II) that I can install and try, but as you stated, with the noise levels I'm seeing it may not matter. I did purchase my...

To me, your perspective is a little strange. UPB is not a "messenger", it's a technology product I paid good money for based on the performance claims the manufacturers made (namely it is very robust against noise). Your statement is like saying "The top on my new convertable leaks when it...

Hello All- This is my first post on this board, and unfortunately I'm not sharing good news. After months of researching, I decided to go with UPB for the new home we're constructing next door to our current house. I received my first order of about a dozen switches (mostly SAI US2-40's)...
