I tried every which way possible and could not get it to work. When the Activator track is removed from my layout and powered from constant voltage, it worked great. As soon as I put it back into the layout with the variable voltage powered track, it would not work.
I finally phased a second transformer and it's working great now. Don't know why it wouldn't work directly off the fixed voltage of the CW-80. Anyway, thanks for the help.
