Hello Tim,
so you couldn't get a stable reading on a rail section?! Nickle Silver rail?

Thanks guys! Good information here; now I know why we had some intermittent current problems. :(
Gonna do the layout bus wiring this time. A friend of mine lives about 2 hours away and how you all are describing the wiring is exactly like he's doing it. I helped solder feeders for him one afternoon. I'm getting a much better picture for how and why.
Back to the Rail Pro power requirements: I'm building a layout in a 9' X 12' spare room. One PWR-56 should get me where I want to go, right? Do I understand correctly that the radio signals go through the air and the rails?

The radio signals go only through the air.
The PWR-65 rebroadcasts (by air) what it gets, thereby increasing the coverage in the room.

So the PWR-56 functions as a repeater for the HC-2?

Shawn, my layout is 12x17 feet with 200 feet of hadlaid track and turnouts, All pieces of track are fed to a 14ga bus with 16ga feeders (that's what I had on hand so I used them, smaller 18 or 22ga wire would have been OK too). My PR-56 is placed approximately centre of the layout and works very well. Track voltage is uniform throughout. I use code 70 and code 83 rail with rail joiners, I do not rely on the rail joiners for electrical continuity, only for track alignment.
