Guys- I recently had some issues with my Legacy Cab2 system. Basically, it stopped working and would no longer sync with my ZW-L transformer. After trying everything I could think of including replacing all of the track and binding post wiring, it was still not working. The ZW in command mode would continuously blind and never glow solid. I finally bit the bullet and installed a new Cab2 base. The ZW instantly synced up and all was working. The only problem is that the memory on the Cab 2 remote is gone. It reappears when i install the old base, but that was my issue with non-running layout. Does anyone know of a way to transfer the memory from my old base? I can't imagine that it is not possible. I currently have about 83 locomotives and several Legacy train cars, plus switches and accessories on my layout, so reprogramming would be a job. Thanks for your help.

this is because nothing is stored in the handheld, everything is in the base.

which is why you should back up your base as mentioned above.

John- Finally got it to load. There was an error in the zip file function that I did not see at first. Uploaded and created a backup file and cleaned up some issues in the lists. It cleanly downloaded into my new Cab2 base from the old one. Thanks so much for your valuable assistance.
