I am still trying to solve interference issues that I have with the Universal Remote.  At times it is flawless, but too often, while 3 trains are in motion, 1 or 2 of the engines may unexpectantly sound their horn, and stop.  Sometimes they restart, but other times do not.  If I unpair the engine and pair it again, it proceeds.

Here's what I have previously found: one time, a short on one of the loops was causing this to happen.  I remedied that, things were good for a while, then it started again.

I have tested the batteries in the remote, and they're fine.

Has anyone experienced interference from a cell phone on site, either from the wifi signal or the blue tooth signal?

Also, the modem/router from my home Comcast cable network is in the same overall area as my layout, as is my desktop home computer.

In addition to the Universal Remote, I also have 2 independent Lionel remotes that came with specific engines, and I have never had an issue with either of these.  They are of course in close proximity to the Universal Remote. There is flourescent lighting in the room.

I am anxious to try something else and hope someone has a suggestion.  Thanks very much in advance.

My universal remote has worked flawlessly, but I keep things simple. For instance, I only run one train at a time using the universal remote.

If I want to run 2 trains (one on each of the 2 independently powered and interconnected main lines), I typically run a Legacy or LC+2.0 using the universal remote, and an MTH PS2 or 3 using the DCS remote.

I have had no problems whatsoever for 2+ years doing the above.

Its not that I can't simultaneously run 2 or 3 trains using the universal remote, its that I don't want to do so. To do so would make me a little anxious. When I run my trains, one of my priotities is to relax. Arnold
