This is from the late Dale Manquen's Trainfacts website.

If the frequency tuning of the Base oscillator shifts away from the nominal value, the receivers in the locomotives may have a reduced sensitivity. Re-tuning L8 is a bit risky, but sometimes this is necessary. Using the least sensitive locomotive as a reference, press the horn/whistle button on the CAB-1. Use a plastic screwdriver to adjust L8 back and forth until you determine the extremes of the adjustment range that will activate the horn/whistle. Now adjust L8 to the middle of this adjustment range. Check all you other locomotives. (You could have just one bad locomotive and a good Base!)

The site is still up, so here's the whole page on the command base: Lionel TMCC Command Base 7/29/11

I have no idea how much longer the site will be active as sooner or later the domain name will expire. Looks like next year...
