Locked Re: I am unable to read what type of decoder from the program track and mainline on LokSound and Broadway Limited decoders. I can read the Digitrax decoders.


 

Also the same engines I had problems with at home worked at the Club. FYI
Not decoder problems.

Ok thanks, Let me throw this in the mix. We are using the same setup at my
RR Club "Central Ohio N-Trak" the only difference is They are using a DCS
100 not a DCS 200. Also no program booster. That is why I am thinking the
problem may be in the DCS 200. I am unable to take my setup to the Club
right now because our system is at a County fair with the layouts this week.
I read and write just fine using the Club setup.

Number boards flash, that makes me think they are direct wired to the rails.
If so, and the test would be that you can't turn them off, that could
interfere with readback. The other test would be making sure all the
functions are off before moving to the programming track. Some decoders try
to retain settings and that could also confuse things as it draws power.
