[quote user="JPM335"][quote user="caellis"] While it may seem amusing or strange to those that have not tried it, I use the cordless phone with my Lenz.The cordless phone has no range problems, the adapter may be hidden anywhere as the signal goes through walls, etc.I use the cordless phone more than my Lenz 90 or 100 cabs.The keys on the phone are assigned in a very logical manner and it easily goes from one loco to another by simply pressing the #, then the loco address followed by an *.Another great thing is the cost. The adapter cost about $60.00 and the cordless phone can be anything from $0.00 after rebates to maybe $25.00. This is a total cost of under $90. for a radio cab that works perfectly![/quote]Thats sounds like a great idea. What keys on the phone control speed/direction? [/quote] NZRMAC answered this question correctly. And looking at the key numbers in his response does not fully show the logic in their assignments.If you look at a phone number pad and also look at the key assignments in his response the logic becomes apparent and is very easy to use with out looking at the phone after some practice.I also used a toothpick with model paint and drew arrows and + or - signs next to the keys.I use the phone cab more than my other cabs. You may use multiple adapters and therefore have more then one radio cabs.The reason Lenz went this route is to satisfy their world wide customer base. As each country has its' own cordless phone frequencies and regulations. So Lenz avoided having to get a radio cab approved for the many countries in which they market their products. And as a bonus the cost for going radio for the customer is very attractive.
