Reply to "TMCC/Legacy Track Signal Booster (Dale's Legacy Continues)"

LESSON LEARNED: I installed Gunrunner's TMCC signal booster.  I was having trouble with some steam locomotives.  It works great and cleared up the issues I had.  However along the way I learned a valuable lesson I'd like pass on.  The Signal Booster has  a knob that's an amplitude adjustment. I just turned it to the MAX thinking "more is better."  Not so. Too much of a good thing can cause problems.  In my case, the 4 Fastrack Sensor Tracks I installed worked fine for a while then, stopped triggering train dialogue or identifying new engines.  After much sweat and tears  (Here's the string if you're interested in the details:  https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...7#183311597494949277

John explained that the amplified signal can interfere with the sensor tracks if it's too high. So, I dialed it back just enough to stop the interference and from then on, no problems.
