Hi Bill
Starting out of the box:
Place Loco on programming track.
from the tech guide CV245 - Paragon2/3 steam and diesel - "D6 – 0= CV write sound feedback enabled
?1= CV write sound feedback disabled
(Some controllers need this disabled to read CV’s)"??

On the jmri decoder definition it talked about this bit 6 as being about turning off "write sound feedback"
?
The default paragon 3/2 steam, is 00010001, = 0x11 = decimal 17. add bit 6 = decimal 81?
the default paragon 3/2 diesel is 00000001, = 0x01 = decimal 1, add bit 6 = decimal 65?
But maybe read the manual, just in case I messed up. There is a lot of information.

using your favorite cv writer, dtxxx or what ever write 81/65 to cv 245
count to 10 and read back, after placing loco on programming track if you did this on the main. Ive found that direct works better than paged, but varies by Command Station for some odd reason, but you results may vary.
Like some other decoders (TCS dither adjustments, and others), it may not take until rebooted by removing power from track if you were on the main.
This workes for me on DCS50/51/240 - programming track and main, pr3 programmer programming track.
As for why it worked at the club and not at home... make the set ups identical, so as I understand, no booster. I used no booster.
