QUOTE: Originally posted by wrmcclellan jimdevleerjr, You can use several Cab-1's successfully. We use 4 or 5 at a time on our club layout. Be aware that all the CAB-1's communicate on the same radio frequency to the same Command Base. Thus occasionally two Cab-1's radio commands will "collide" and the Command base will either be confused and do nothing or one of the commands may get through. Thus you may have to repeat a command if your engine did not react as expected. The most common collision occurs when one Cab-1 is being used to hold the whistle (or horn) continuously and a second Cab-1 tries to send a signal at the same time. The second Cab-1 signal may not be recognized. Plus, since we are dealing with low power radio transmitters here - the closest one to the Command Base my be recognized more than one farther away. Regardless, the TMCC system is quite tolerant of this. Nothing locks up or gets fouled up. Regards
