Best location for UR92

I guess your test results aren’t super clear, it seemed that your last operation report said you still had loss of control as the session ran on even with the throttles that were downreved to 0.6.

The issues addressed witht he updates have generally been Loconet related - mainly compatibility with having UR92’s and UR91’s ont he layotu at the same time. If I remember the older Yahoo threads, there seemed to be some timing issues as to which thing responded first, the UR91 or the UR92, when the throttle was plugged in as well as when it started communicating via radio. Since the UR91 can;t be changed, everything has to be worked around it, so the only changes are to UR92’s and DT402D’s. I have a feeling part of the change reduced the number of duplicate messages sent by the UR92, which would make a bulletproof Loconet more critical. Miss the needed message - no workie.

The only thing cleanign up the radio environment woudl do it increase the range and potentially eliminate handoff issues movign from one UR92 to another. You may have adequate coverage in all areas until a large number of radio-blockign bodies get in the way, leaving potential weak spots between US92’s that the throttles can’t figure out who to talk to.

We do occasionally have issues witht he club layout, even in big open venues. UR91’s are absolutely useless in Timonium as the NCE guys next to us kill DIgitrax simplex radio, that’s been a given even since they both had radio options. Once in a while, a UT4D will drop communications. Sometimes it’s as simpel as a dead battery, the ones we use have been recharged so many times they are reachign end of life and even a fresh one might not run for very long. Plus they aren;t the top notch Maha ones. Even Maha has several batteries - the most expensive ones are like the AA Sanyo ones I use in my digital camera, in that once charged they don;t self discharge. I still have 4 that I haven’t used yet since I bought the set 2 years ago, they still have at le
