Thanks for the FYI. I haven't purchased the r3 or the r2, mostly because I'm still a poor college student. The X10 FAQ site quotes the following as the transmission frequencies for its video "senders".
X10 cameras and Video Senders use the following frequencies:
Channel A: 2.411 GHz
Channel B: 2.434 GHz
Channel C: 2.453 GHz
Channel D: 2.473 GHz
Given that Channels A & B are at the outer most edge of the r3's receiving range, and Channels C & D are outside the receiving range of the r3, which is quoted by the r3's specs page. I could see why there would be the need for a pre-amp and external antenna. Oh well I guess the simplest and cheaper solutions are most often the best solutions, though sometimes slightly heavier.
Icom has a smaller solution and with many other features such as being compact and lightweight. Both features that will keep you traveling further and enjoying the spoils of unsuspecting X10 users for many hours to come.
