Thanks John. By "gives indications" I mean that I'll hear a little "puff" sound like a steam puff when I give a command. For example, when a direction change to reverse is executed the tender reverse lamp lights up. Sometimes I'll hit the direction button multiple times and each time hear that little puff sound. Also the light will blink on the Base 1L but no change in direction by the engine. Other times I have to give a command 3 or 4 times to get it to execute.
I had no idea that the hand rails were the antenna.
