I did not want to hi-jack other thread so here is my issue.
since last return from lionel for antenna issues the cab-2 smoke low med high and aux-2 keys for tender lights on off refused to work pushing appropriate key pad on cab-2 remote.
so in reading other thread on Legacy HelpI read a post saying that engine number and all information be deleted as possible corruption hmmmm!
so I removed power to track slid switch to program powered track up pushed on engine button and selected #1 and hit set then removed power again waited 30 seconds slid switch to run now cab-2 says cab-1 good so far.
I then pushed on engine on cab-2 selected old number 40 and deleted all information associated with that number, now I re-addressed engine # 1 and went to info scrolled to load inserted the big boys module it loaded removed module and lo and behold all key presses for engine smoke low med high and aux-2 and tender on/off key presses are accepted and executed without holding my hand on the handrails aka the antenna for legacy engines as well as tmcc engines to use!
now if I change the engines address number from #1 to # 40 it reverts back to smoke and tender lights not responding again!!
so okay Marty - Gunrunner - GGG or anyone else that knows the cure what exactly is going on here with the cab-2 and base and the VL Big Boy and the above issues any help on resolving this so I can once again use engine #40 to address this big boy and all will work correctly.
all the rest of my legacy/tmcc engines respond to cab-2 and all features accept commands given to them.
thank you in advance for any help on this.
