Robert,
Just a few questions on your process.
1. What type of DCC system ?
2. How is it connected to the computer system. (Locobuffer USB for Digitrax or PR ? from Digitrax) or a PB100 from NCE.
3. If it is a Digitrax wimp system with low programming output, are you using the necessary programming track booster.
4. Have you disabled the "decoder talk-back" CV ? If not, the decoder will try to verbally repeat the CV and the following CVs will not get programmed.
5. If you are trying to program a 4-digit address, simply write that into CV 18.
6. What TYPE of BLI decoder ? Is it the OEM QSI decoder, The failure Blue-line from BLI, or one of the newer Paragon versions made by BLI ?
These are important information. Anyone trying to answer your question without basic info is not helping .
======================
HOW to ask your question
======================
One of the most common questions about JMRI is "How do I get it to work?". This
isn't really a problem with JMRI itself in most cases, but there are HUGE
numbers of possible configurations for DCC systems, and Windows, Linux, and Mac
computers out there. Just asking "How do I get it to work" is NOT going to
get you any useful help.?
When asking ANY question, you should utilize a meaningful subject line that indicates?
the problem and include the following information in the body of the message:
+ If JMRI has started copy and paste the System Console into the body. (its under help on the start screen)
+ Has JMRI worked before on this computer?
+ Computer make and model
? + if you have just upgraded, from? which version
+ Any other DCC devices in use
+ Specific details of your difficulty including error messages if any,?
Depending on the nature of the problem, you may need to supply even more
information, but this is the absolute required for anyone to give you
accurate answers.?
Signing you post helps keep the group friendly and personable!
Please supply the required info for accurate answers.
Regards,
Nick Kulp

Last knight a club member came to me with a Broadway ltd Pennsy K4 and I put it on the program track, It read as short address 174, correct long address but with short bulleted I corrected that and read the decoder all CV¡¯s, saved then it would not find it in the list and came back with short address (I had saved bulleted and wrote long)? redid the whole thing still would not find in list and then we went to the regular track and it had changed not only the short but also the long address as something completely different, made me look real stupid to the member who was kind about it but was really frustrating.

Any thoughts on what I did wrong?
