Command Control FasTrack Switch Issue

On routes, sometimes you have to increase the delay between switches thrown...a bit.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just looked and my Cab-2 is set for a throw rate of .50 seconds. Is there some setting you would recommend or is this a trial and error issue??? 

Thanks again.

Thanks a million, I tried upping the rate to 1.25 seconds and the problem switch works perfectly - no more agita!!!

Yes, it has a lot to do with command signal reception where it is. In the case of the SC-2s, I had to run a ground wire off the pin 5 of the base db9 socket (which is also the third pin ground at the wall plug for the base charger) to make the routes switch faster with the SC-2s.

Probably if you run a ground wire (like you do when the engines lose signal) near any slow command switches they'll switch faster.

Thanks Chuck. Luckily I haven't finished all the wiring in the yard area, so I'll be sure to run a ground wire as close to the switch as possible.
