Marc,
Thanks for your reply.? If the PR4 works with Soundloader but not JMRI, but my PR3 (same computer, same JMRI and same loco and same power supply) works fine with both SL and JMRI, does that not indicate that there IS some kind of difference between the two? Maybe not command wise, but hardware wise, which could have an influence on how it communicates with decoders.
Regarding #4, all I have been saying is that there are a number of messages in this forum of PR4 users exhibiting similar issues. aI know there are few messages that say "my PR4 works fine". So is the issue a DT quality control issue, that the PR4s that do not seem to accept JMRI are maybe on the edge of some tolerance. Or is there another factor??
One alternative I told my friend to try when his PR4 arrives back, is to use the PR4 to drive the control station programming, rather that using it standalone. Perhaps that is why the "my PR4 works" crowd is successful? But I will also suggest to him that we check his power pack (currently a PS14, if I am not mistaken, so not 12V)
