As I was doing this troubleshooting, I started to wonder how feasible would it be to make a TMCC/Legacy signal strength indicator circuit using a subset of the TMCC/Legacy Signal Booster circuit? Obviously the comparator chip, LED, some passive components are needed. Maybe even a battery powered version?
Keeping your bi-line in mind, is this a project worth looking at?

Actually, the NJ-HR club made a rolling TMCC signal strength detection engine. Turns out there is an output from the R2LC TMCC receiver that indicates the relative signal strength. They used a BlueTooth capable meter and carried the whole thing around the layout and could map the TMCC signal strength.
