Chaps, many thanks for the responses, I think the real answer lies in the signalling, but that'll ding dang do for me. Many thanks for your help.

Working in a limited space (aren't we all) and was wondering if anyone was aware of a prototype where where an Up line and and Down line shared a passing loop, or would it have been completely forbidden in steam practice (esp. GWR)? ie, two lines in, three lines for a distance than back down to two, with both lines being able to access the central "loop". Many thanks in advance.

Update time!

Wrapping the handheld unit in tinfoil stops all the problems. Am currently working on applying foil to the inside of the unit, sealing it with PVA to prevent any shorting problems. Obviously won't be able to cover screen but hope this will be enough to remedy the problem.

Rebooted my router and hey presto, an improvement. I'm still getting the occasional, and I mean twice an hour, blip. It's almost not noticeable as it's favourite command to send on my behalf is to slow the current loco by 1 notch. Would consider a change of controller, but only when the bank manager (aka Mrs Morgan) allows. As others have said, the beauty of Dynamis was it's price and flexibility. I see on the back of the handset it says "This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation." Now I'm no legal expert, but to me it sounds as though the FCC (whose rule only really apply in the US) are saying that this unit is not suitable for sale in the US as it clearly doesn't cope with interference received. Does anyone know what the sales are like in the US for his? Time to find an american forum.

Presumably the same problem would occur if a neighbour had a belkin router and you might then have trouble convincing them to turn it off. I've got a Dynamis. I've just come back from two weeks holiday. Guess what! Can I ask, when you guys have had problems, what did the handset display? Mine behaves as though I'm entering random commands, from both the joystick and the buttons. I've tried new batteries but to no avail. Guess what I'm going to try this evening? Sorry kids, no Xbox Live 'til I've sorted it. My router is BT not Belkin, but it must operate at the same frequency so as to be compatible with all the other kit it's expected to speak to. I'm also suspicious as routers use radio waves, not infrared. Any thoughts?
