My cab-2 remote doesn’t respond to turning the throttle knob. Engines resond to horn bell etc. and will move using “speed” arrows but when I turn the red throttle knob nothing happens. The cab-2 seed line doesn’t move. The cab-2 batteries are new and fully charged. The base antena is close to the cab-2 I have tried with multiple engines with same results. I pressed theAux 1 key to go back to standard menu and still no results. Is the cab-2 remote shot? Or ami doing something stupid? Ps. I tried using my cab-1L and the engines respond to the red throttle and seem to respond ok. Any advice appreciated

Check Train brake slider ?
Hi the brake slider is up near “-“ sign

Right, but in some cases it's possible for the actual sliding potentiometer to slip out of place with the slider knob. So it's recommended, slide it down- observe the remote screen, and then slide it back up watching closely the slot behind the knob. Sometimes, this is how can find out because it cannot slide all the way down because the mechanical interface between knob and actual sliding pot post slipped out. This can happen if the remote is dropped hard and the case flexes.
Again, the goal is, ensure the slider is actually actuating the slide style pot and the remote screen is showing that change.

Hi. Thanks. It appears to be ok. I know the slider worked since I previously started up an engine and it was sluggish and I noticed the slider was past midway down on the slider. When I moved it up all was ok. Thanks again
