cjack posted:So you have a weak signal issue. Is it in one area or thru out the layout? If it is all over the layout, then you have to investigate the strength of the output of the base. There are several ways to check this out, an oscilloscope if you have one is the fastest. You should get about 6 vpp at the U output at the base against ground of the scope.
So remember back a few messages, I used the carcass of 76 with the R2LC of 61 and it worked fine on the same section of track. So it would appear to me that it is not a total layout issue. Further I have six or seven locomotive that traverse my entire layout without issue. So let's just for a minute think that it is a receive issue with the carcass of 61. Now the question I have is why are throttle commands more sensitive to signal receive issues than other command such as TOWER TALK, COUPLER FIRE, etc. which seem to work fine.
