Dave;
I just watched the show - lots of interesting stuff for sure. The Cab3 definitely looks interesting, but I didn’t get a definitive answer to one major question... Will the Cab3 or the app allow me to have ID’s over #99 for any engines or sound cars/crane cars, etc. that I currently have – I am pretty much out of usable ID’s???
Thanks.

No. Classic TMCC and modern Legacy engines are absolutely limited to 2 digit addressing. We spent a good amount of time investigating options to make 4-digit addressing available retroactively, and it simply cannot be done. Not giving up there, we decided to put effort into a new Legacy radio concept that is going to be in the Class A and other future engines.

I know it's not the answer we all want, myself included. I have dozens of SP engines in my collection, and so wish I could use 4-digits on them.

Sometimes we have to live with the limitations of older technology and press forward with new development.
