My Base 3 is working well with my Cab2 handhelds as well as the Cab3 app with only a couple of minor isses.  However, my Cab 1 handhelds will not pair with the Base3. Checking uTube videos it appears that the procedure is to depress the set button and while holding down the set button depress the number for the channel and a beep should be emitted from the handheld once it pairs.  I have tried all three of my Cab1's, changed channels on the Base3 and I can not get the Cab1's to pair with the Base3.  Anyone have an idea of what I am doing wrong?

Cab1L or Cab1?  Big difference.  Blue or Gray?

Fred,

I've just tried to find the thread you've mentioned using our Forum's Search feature.

No luck.

What worked for me was this instead: BASE3 and TMCC/CAB1 signaling problems

Unfortunately, to a search engine "Signalling" and "Signaling" are two different things.

You can click on this link to go to directly to the page:

I digress too much perhaps, but I read the link and the one guy was overjoyed he could now run his trains with his Cab1, 1L, 2& 3.

Are you an octopus, why would you even want to complicate your life trying to remember how to do all that.  Haha just kidding, but all this Cab3 seems to over complicate running a model train layout.  I lost interest after TMCC, but I understand a lot of people want to be on the cutting edge of technology.  Not my thing, i avoid apps, not really sure what they are. haha  I do love my Cab1,  TPC , 135 power brick to run my std gauge trains, not giving that up, but that is as far as I go with it.  Again, it’s a model train layout, why does it have so hard.  But alas, perhaps I digress too much.

Cheers,       W1
