If the performance is so poor for so many, it's a product fail IMO. Weather reporting is the only job where you can be wrong half the time and still be a success.
My Universal Remote has less range than my cellphone as far as controlling any of the BT equipped locomotives I have. All of mine are either Legacy or LC+ 2.0 models. I have four Legacy locomotives with BT and two LC+ 2.0 locomotives. None of them are reliable if I'm standing at one end of my layout and the locomotive more than 12-15 feet away from me, barely half the way down the layout. Forget it if I try to drive one into the yard! Some of them will drop out in even less distance.
Wow. Amazing difference from one user to another. I'd sure be upset if I was getting those results... it would be too frustrating for the kids to use.
