I am suddenly getting an excessive amount of event03 in my 
 reports and certain devices have been sending a larger 
 number of NAK's. Nothing new really, is that a sign that I 
 should replace the PLM?
 
 If changing the PLM is recommended should I choose to go 
 with a "dual band" device? I'm assuming that other dual 
 band devices are required so are there any "repeaters" that 
 can be plugged in around the home or would I have to 
 replace switches to gain any benefit?

The increase in 03 events and NAKs could indicate a PLC problem.  Could also indicate some issue on the powerline, noisy appliance, UPS attenuating signal, cell phone charger, the list goes on.
 
 The Dual Band PLM alone can act as an interface for RF only devices such as Motion Sensors, TriggerLincs, RemoteLincs, RemoteLinc2s.  If not using Access Points for coupling the 120V phases that could also explain some of the 03 events and NAKs.

Thanks Lee, I think I will be upgrading the PLM soon.
