Yes, I was just reading that myself.  It states that if there is a problem with RF transmiisions between the throttle and the UP92 the led on the throttle will flash. It's not an issue of range because I'm standing right in front of the UP92.  I doubt it's interference because nothing has changed in that respect either in my basement or the rest of the house.  That's why I'm assuming the UP92 is toast.  Unless there is a way to  reboot it.  I'll read more but if anyone has any suggestions I'd most appreciate to read what you have to say.

Regards, Chris

 

Edit- I just realized the receiver is actually called a UR92

If this is in fact a UR92, here is the Digitrax page describing how it should behave:

Digitrax Super Chief System “Wonky”
Posted by Tophias on Wednesday, April 12, 2023 8:15 PM

My 10 year old Digitrax Super Chief system started going off the rails (no pun) recently.  It did not respond to throttle (DT402D) inputs. I changed the battery with no improvement. Then I got a second DT402D and then a newer UP6D and still no response. Both the DT402D's would have the LED flash continuously as soon as the battery was inserted. When I would plug them in to a UP5 or the UP92 it would respond.  So I assume the UP92 radio component is faulty. Before I replace it, am I correct in thinking the UP92 is junk?  Or can it be "rebooted"? Or could it be something else?  

Regards, Chris
