Yes, I don't like it. Four 2 line digital meters with voltage over current would have been more useful...not so retro, but let's get over that. The past is fun to remember but we don't have to be silly about it.

The only minor thing I've noticed was for low current draws, the meter might not realize and switch over to the other handle.

 

I know that's an odd situation, so it' doesn't bother me really.  I noted this when using one channel to control a bump-n-go Trolley for my Christmas layout.  (other channel had a traditional engine with some lighted cars)

I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but were you touching the handles manually, or using a remote?

 

I was using a CAB-2 remote, I'm pretty sure.

 

I can check it again someday when I get a chance, but I'm 99.9% certain that whatever I did voltage wise with the trolley did not cause the meter to switch from the other channel that was running at whatever speed I initially set it to before I started playing with the trolley.
