Are these remotes interchangeable or are they specific to the Infrared Activated Lock-On that came with the set?
Reason I am asking, I have 2 P2 sets, which have this remote-but I run DCS via my TIU, so I haven’t used them.
But, I’m doing some much needed clean up in the MISC Train Room, and would like to put them in their perspective boxes-if there is a perspective box.
Thanks

Only works with the commander set
It came with this set, or another one like it.
I want to know if those remotes-which I have 2, are specific to the Infrared Lock-On.
Thanks
IR Remotes work any IR Base Only. These are the bases that raise and lower Track Voltage. They operate the train conventionally.
DCS Remote CDR has a separate remote that is different, and operates the DCS type base. This one keeps track voltage high, and operates in a limited command mode.
Simple for you to try it. Test track one IR Base and watch either remote control it. G
I added more details if you actually read my post
The second op confused a DCS CDR with the basic remote. One is conventional, the other junior DCS. Can't mix them. So I was clarifying. Some wood is denser then others

You must have replied while I was reading, replying to Ron S.
What’s with the repetition of the wood reference?
The original question (which has been answered) gave me pause for reflection. There was a time when many if not most wireless controls required mating or pairing the transmitter to the receiver. All transmitters looked alike, all receivers looked alike. But there was a little sticker affixed to the transmitter and receiver with a number or letter. Then there were the controls where you'd have to purchase and install a pair of mating crystals...one in the transmitter, one in the receiver.
