I haven't used my CI-1 in a while, so it may have changed.  It likely did because I remember noticing that it took forever to load a prime mover file when the CI-1 hadn't been released, and I was working with the first beta software.  I've tested with it since, but my laptop was having issues recognizing the CI-1 so I set it aside (laptop and software problem, nothing with Ring Engineering).  I have another laptop now where there is no interfering software so I'll do some additional testing.  That's another topic though, not related to the original post.

I did some testing tonight.    There seems to be about a 10' distance limit from the CI-1 to the locos. After that things can start to get flaky. I was moving it closer and farther, higher and lower.  Intermittent signal loss would pop up occasionally at any location beyond that.

For "trailing unit not stopping" issue, I was not able to make that happen tonight.  The only real change I've made since I had the problem was to lower the top speed when I speedmatched  to my DCC locos.  I think I'm going close this issue until I get an HC-2.  If it happens again I'll document all settings and see if I can get it on video.  Until then I'll be running in DCC mode anyway. 

Thanks for all the great comments and advice!
