That's putting it mildly.? ? ??
Please say exactly what equipment you are using.? ??
It is highly unlikely that you are using BOTH a Sprog and a PR4,? so which is it ???

Subject [jmriusers] Locomotives unable to change direction. #pr4 #sprog
Hi,
I'll apologise now for not being very computer / DCC savvy.
I recently installed a Digitrax DN163K1B in a Kato SD70ACe and it would only travel in one direction after programming. I thought there was a fault in the decoder and was trying to figure out what to do with it. ?Then my dad bought 3 used Kato locos with MRC
sound decoders and asked me to change the loco numbers. ?Now all 4 locos will only travel one direction. 2 will only travel backwards and 2 will only travel forwards.
I think it's too much of a coincidence to have 4 locos with the same errors.
Additional to this the locos can be programmed when following the "New Loco" route but afterwards cannot be identified by Decoderpro. "Identify" results in Error 301 , no locomotive found.
I've tried "Reset" but all that does is set the loco number to 3 and switch analog control to on.
Any help would be appreciated please.
