I scared up a BCR and installed it. Put the engine on the track and applied power, 20v. Voltage is on the track, as the caboose lights up. Let the BCR charge, and did a READ to confirm the TIU is set to 1. (It is.) Followed Barry's instructions for the recovery function. No joy. The remote comes back with no engine recovered. Tried twice, same result. Just for curiosity's sake, I tried to add the engine anyway. I now get the message, no engine to add.
I also put the engine on a track with no DCS signal present. The engine does work in conventional mode, sounds and forward/reverse.
Suggestions?

replace the BCR with a battery( Make sure the battery is fully charged). Then try it again. I had an issue with a BCR and a 5V board, Put the battery back in after charging it and no issues . With a BCR you need to set the transformer at 11 until the BCR is charged( 10 sec). You might of blown the BCR by jumping to 20v which is too much power anyway.. Next time set the transformer at 15v.
