Following the previous discussion on LC bluetooth operating range, I rechecked my earlier universal controller range check with a LC2.0 engine and again found it to be 40-45 feet. This compares with the bluetooth LC app range to be around 25 feet. The obvious conclusion is that if you are running LC on a large layout, the universal controller is the best choice, although the app may also work well. One other point of interest is that only one controller can be connected to a LC engine at the same time. This limited app based operating range should not generally rule out bluetooth as there are other bluetooth systems I have tested with substantial operating ranges close to 100 feet.
