Base 2 signal strength vs Base 3 signal strength

Pete, I've been following another Base 2 vs 3 signal strength comparison thread with interest too.  To make sure I understand what you want to know in this topic, are you asking how the signal strength compares between Base 2 and Base 3 (both from handheld Cab Remote to Base and also Base to track), when only using either a Cab1L or a Cab 2 (not the Cab 3 App).  Is this correct?

Yes, thats pretty much the question at this point. Our modular club is considering. Base 3 and signal strength is a factor as we sometimes have layouts with over 1800 feet of mainline. Currently a single Legacy Base 2 can handle this. Hoping a Base 3 is at least as capable.

Here's a link to the Topic I was referring to earlier.  Legacy remote-to-base range for Base3 better than 990 or base 1L?  There's some great info there, but hasn't yet definitively answered the question in this thread.

I've been able connect and run Cab1-L, Cab2 and Cab3 app through walls at 70'+... to the Base3.  I have a 12dbi high gain antenna on the Base3.  No issues with the Base3 to track... but, I have smallish layout.

Thank you Steve and Dennis. Just finished reading the thread that Steve linked to. Sounds like it should work OK.

At Harry's place, the only place I've run with a BASE3 so far, I didn't see any issues running with the BASE3.  His layout spans several rooms and there are obstructions like the stairs in the middle as well.  It's around 20x45 down there, and it works fine everywhere using the CAB1L and CAB2.
