I pretty much wore out the gain knob during this process.

Got it. I'm with you, then: bad controller.

After checking locally I found lots of low end units for more than I could get a Prodigy online with overnight shipping. Should be here tomorrow.

Silly me, I was all stressed wanting to get it working today. It just dawned on me that I have another truck that can use to move my tractor. Duh.

no reason not to have them both working in case of emergency...

The other truck has been down for 6 months and only recently road worthy. That's part of the reason I forgot. Good thing it's running now since it has a dump bed and I have lots of stuff to load and dump.

I had the same problem when I went to buy a controller. The only ones I could find locally were the most basic timed models and none were under $100.
