I'd like to get another of this 'old favorite'. Yes, I WILL check the BUY/SELL forum, but here I also want to ask: Does the fairly-new Cab-L [I THINK that's its name] do the same job[s] as the Cab-1?

Only if you buy it with the new base or have a Legacy base. It doesn't operate on the same base to Cab frequency as the old Cab1s.
Marty: I DO have a Legacy base. Does the new Cab-1L 'replicate' the Cab-1?
The CAB-1L is essentially a CAB-1 with a few differences/enhancements:
-It transmits on the Legacy base frequency, as opposed to the TMCC Command base frequency. IOW, it talks to a Legacy base but does not talk to an old Command base.
-It has an enhanced whistle button that will quill a LEGACY whistle. It cannot quill a non-legacy whistle.
-it supports two digit "TR" numbers, whereas the old CAB-1 only supported single digit "TR" numbers
Thanks, Roy. I use both types of command bases, so the new one should work fine. I guess I'd better look for one....
