Norm,
I have one of these in the queue for upgrade. What did you use for the antenna?

Whatever TAS used to supply with their EOB upgrades. My set had EOB for many years before I swapped it over to ERR. I was fighting what turned out to be a grounding issue and found the Cruise Commander was less picky about the Centipede set having poor grounding. I added some ground jumpers to the trucks at some point even after converting over. I have long insulated block triggers for my signals and some diesels hate it. The bad grounding clue is if they run better when the train they are pulling enters the block and bridges the ground.

For what it’s worth I could never pull a load hard enough to annoy the standard rectifier and mosfet/heat sink setup with EOB or ERR. YMMV though.
