Perfect track signal with one loco, but not the other

BlueComet400OGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Currently, I have 2 DCS-equipped locos: a PS2 Premier Dreyfuss Hudson 20-3045 and a Premier Blue Comet 20-3028-1, recently converted to PS3.

The track signal for the Blue Comet is a perfect 10 all the way around both loops and operates perfectly. The Hudson's track signal is all over the place, from as high as 10 in a few spots, down to 5, 2, 1 and even "out of range" in others. With track signal that low, the loco is often unresponsive.

My TIU is Rev L, the remote is version 6.1, and I'm using a brand-new Z4000 for power. Any ideas as to what would cause the signal difference and what the remedy might be would be much appreciated. Many thanks.
