I previously had a Digitrax DCS240 and had no problems. Since I moved to the DR500 and not YD7001 acquiring a locomotive over the Duplex network doesn't seem to work. It acquires fine when plugged in, but not when disconnected. I get the same results with both a DT602D and a UT6D. I will try with a DT500D and see if I get the same results. I have monitored the Loconet transmissions and it seems to be almost comnplete, just missing the last transmission back to the throttle. Heres the JMRI Loconet monitor for the relevant area:

The message about "Query Tetherless Receivers" should be the time when I plugged the throttle in and then acquired the locomotive (address 2004).
I have a YD70001 (upgraded from a DR5000) and two DR5033 boosters, 2 DR5013 reversers, 2 DR5088RC railcom readers, and many RR-CirKits devices (2 TC-64's, 1 TC-64 Mk II, many SignalMan, TowerMan, WatchMan and MotorMan devices).?
