I seem to have narrowed my problem with locos that program OK, run with EasyDCC throttles, but not with WiThrottle.

Every one so far has the same brand and model decoder: an early Lenz LE103 unit. They were my choice when I got started with DCC, reasonable size, price, and current rating. Most of my locos have Lenz LE103 decoders, and NONE tested so far works with WiThrottle! DecoderPro identifies them, programs all the CVs, they run with EasyDCC throttles set to those addresses, but don't run with WiThrottle. Given I have ten or more locos with LE103 decoders, I sure wish WiThrottle could control them!

The two locos that are working are using other decoders, one an inexpensive NCE bought a month ago, the other an older Zimo, probably an MX-61N. DecoderPro identified the NCE and its model correctly. It couldn't identify the Zimo, even by brand, yet could program and control it.

Has anyone else had problems using Lenz LE103s or other older decoders with JMRI? Does anyone know why this should be happening, or better still, have a fix?
