Reply to "Lionel Legacy Remote Issues"

Hi RR Crew

I'm new to the forum and have a question about a weird CAB 2 Legacy remote/base issue.

I've had the layout working for a few years now w/o issues.

Recently I found that when I power up the track up to 4 or 5 engines all turn on and in some cases run away.

Note base is always powered up.

At that point I have no control of any engine selected.  I note the communications LED on the base does flicker when a use the remote.

What I found so far;

If I bind the base to the remote on any channel everything works fine each time I power up.

If I place the remote on the base for a minute with the track power off then take the remote off the base and power up the track the problem repeats, all engines start, no control of engines.

I then bind the base to remote and everything is OK again.

I have repeated this process ten times in a row and the issue its 100% repeatable.

Conditions:

New batteries in remote with base charger terminals taped off to isolated any issues related to charger circuit draining or overcharging batteries.

Remote displays full battery charge, DMV reads 1.4-1.5 VDC an all 3 batteries with remote active

Remote is within 5 feet of base- Comm led flashes but engines do not respond.

Anyone ever had this crazy problem?  Thank You, any help highly appreciated.
