From the trenches of running show layouts ...

1. The Legacy Base's channel 9 is above most 2.4GHz frequencies used by WiFi, baby monitors, cams, etc. If you have an issue with CAB2 communications with the base, try channel 9.

2. 2.4GHz devices in close proximity to the base can jam the signal. Wireless routers that use channel bonding (the "gaming" routers) can wipe out CAB2 to base comms.

3. A good ground connection from a 3-hole outlet is not assured. Buy an outlet tester and confirm your outlet.

4. TMCC RF assumes that the distribution of house wiring in the walls and ceilings of the layout room is sufficient and evenly distributed. This is not the case, especially in show venues. Extension cords laid around the layout may help poor signal areas.
