Hello Bearcat, You should be reading between 12 to 14.5 volts AC(~V). The other voltage reading is direct current, and how it's getting 23.9 is baffling. My multimeter shows virtually nothing on DC voltage when I read the track. At any rate, the rails on your layout aren't receiving the correct DCC voltage or a digital signal. Is the base unit set up correctly. It sounds as if something is catty-wampus here. Also, check the handheld unit to see if it shows track power as "on". You may have to go through the instructions step by step again, trace each wire between the base unit and the track, and double-check the handheld unit to see that you've set things up correctly. You may also need to reset the handheld unit. The instructions that came with the Lenz set should cover that. If I recall, pressing "Function" and "1" clears the handheld. Hope this helps, Paul Schmidt
