Question for those who use a FS-GT2E or FS-GT2B or FS-GT2G
Am I right in thinking these only bind with one receiver at a time ?
Unlike the FS-GT3B or GT3C that can bind with 10 receivers and switch between them.

I checked out a video review and the Tx can handle 10 different receivers.
Although it did not mention it, I presume as it is used for cars and boats,
only 1 receiver and its model can be moving at one time,
somewhat like a Protocab Tx that can control 9 locomotives but only 1 'in steam' and moving.

I'm using one Si - hence why I ask about the GT2 range which I haven't got !
I got a GT3B in 2017 when I started my experiments with this cheap system.
Problem was I'd ordered a GT3C.
However I ended up getting a full refund from eBay for it, as it wasn't as described.
Had to wait around 3 months and give them the opportunity to send me the return postage before I could use it though,
by which time I'd gone back to Thailand and so haven't used it until recently.
As it comes it has 10 memory slots, so you can use it with up to 10 receivers.
I'm only currently using it with 2, but I have more on order.
You can do a mod on it that allows a firmware hack that gives you 63 slots,
but that's probably OTT for my purposes.
There seems to be only about $10 between the GT2E and the GT3B at the moment anyway.
So I think the more expensive one is the better bet.
Only bad point is it takes 12 rather than 4 AA cells.
I've modded mine to take 3 18650 Li-Ion cells

Real nice transmitter.
You should be able to bind several receivers, so that you separately switch on the loco to be controlled and let the other switched off.
That was my approach in the beginning with using 2,4Ghz RC for trains, with a modified Spektrum Transmitter at that time.
Or you assign a loco to a certain transmitter stick as Si proposed.
The two buttons are simply that what their imprint shows.
Power on/off buttons, only that - according to the manual - you have to press both at the same time.

It is an incredibly well designed and incredibly well made transmitter
It makes any stick transmitters I've used in the past look like they are from the stone age
The most incredible thing of all is if you look around you can buy this for less than the price of some brands receivers
