It seems odd you have to do that. Don't doubt it, just seems odd.
@Dean - Can you verify this for us when you add the additional PW56s?
William Brillinger:
Page 25 of the HC-2 manual covers repeaters:

--- Quote ---IMPORTANT: In the Advanced Settings of your HC you need to specify which RailPro
products will be repeaters.
Your HC can use from one to four repeaters. To Setup the Repeater from the Main
Page, press the “Adjust Settings” Button and then the “Advanced Setup” button. To add
a Repeater, touch the “Press Here to Select Product” button. Select a product to use as
a repeater. To remove a repeater, touch the “Remove” button under the product you
want to remove.

It's more involved than I thought!
Alan:
So this means if someone takes their HC to a friend's layout they must add the friend's PWs to their HC?

Looks that way.
nodcc4me:
The HC will not discover any RP products for the first time without pressing the "Find Product" button. Once it finds a product it will remember it the next time it sees it. If your "Find" a friend's PWR56, and set it up as a repeater, I believe it will recognize that PWR the next time it is within range. I have no way to verify that. Perhaps someone in that situation can try it and report back.
