You can listen (and watch) a locomotive while programming IF you use Programming on the Main (POM).? You will not be able to listen if using the programming track.

This is very easy with DecoderPro.? On the roster screen, select ¡°Programming on Main¡±? before clicking the ¡°Program¡± button.
?
FWIW ¨C I do nearly all programming with POM.? It is fast, reliable and doesn¡¯t require the addition of a programming booster.

?
As I've warned you guys, I'm a beginner.? I too have NCE Power ProR- 5A and 2 Power Cabs all ca. 2017.? I don't have any type of booster.? I have a variety of decoders, some used and unknown age.? I use a DPDT switch to power the isolated
programming spur ie. Main or Programming.? I've had reasonable success using JMRI decoder Pro from a laptop for programming.?
Is there a way to listen to sounds while programming with JMRI with NCE in program mode?? If I need a booster PTB-100 is recommended?
