Reply to "LionChief APP HotSpot Mode with Universal Remote"

I tested the hotspot feature with 3 of my non-bluetooth LC and LC+ locomotives:

6-82828: UP GP38 LC+
6-82964: Milwaukee Road Hudson LC+
6-28653: Polar Express 10th Anniversary LC

The hotspot feature does work for all these locomotives, but it doesn't unlock any additional features. (i.e. individual volume control for the bell, horn, etc) As Dave indicates in his video, this is due to hardware limitations... which is perfectly understandable.

So while it's nice to have the option to run older non-bluetooth LC and LC+ locomotives via a smartphone or tablet, for me personally I'd prefer to just run them directly via the universal remote.

Some QA feedback for Dave Olson: When connecting to my LC PE 10th anniversary locomotive (6-28653) via hotspot the LC app just lists it as a generic diesel locomotive.   And the forward/reverse button on the app doesn't work for this locomotive in hot spot mode... it goes forward even when selecting to run the locomotive in reverse.  (tested from my iPhone 6s/iOS 12.4.4)
