Just in case anyone is interested. I set the whole thing up using my iPad and everything worked first time, no issues with multiple sections. I was using an iPod initially and having tried again setting up the same way ,the iPod just won't work. I suspect it's because on the iPod, to move from the train control to view the track, the screen switches and maybe this causes the Uhlenbrock to think it's disconnected. On the iPad of course it's all one screen. Can't think of any other difference.
