MTH DCS Issues with TMCC/Legacy

Hi all,

     I have been having some issues with my DCS system lately.  I have a DCS/Legacy hybrid system where my TIU is connected to my Legacy base so I can run TMCC locomotives from the DCS handheld and TMCC/Legacy locomotives from the Legacy handheld.  An issue that I have always had and cannot figure out the solution to is why there is always a problem with starting up a locomotive if it is on the same track as a TMCC/legacy locomotive.  If the ground is connected to the track with a TMCC locomotive, even if it isn't in the same block, the DCS engine will not turn on (even though there is power to the track) and I get the error message, "Engine not on track" or "Engine not found."  I have to turn every single engine but that engine off after that happens just to be able to run it.  It's very weird and disappointing as I love the DCS locomotives that I have (when they work right lol) otherwise, I don't even bother adding them again to the remote until I have time.  Have any of you guys have/had the same problem?  It's really irritating when DCS doesn't work right but the TMCC locomotives do from the same handheld.
