Ken, You have 4 signal masts using the "DCC Signal Mast Decoder". Since you mention having a SE74, I looked at the manual for the device. ?One of the options is to use "DCC Aspect control" instead of the traditional SE8C turnout control. ?In JMRI terms, this is the "DCC Signal Decoder" option for signal head appearances. Note: ?In JMRI, signal masts have aspects, such as Clear. ?The aspect is the meaning based on one or more signal heads. ?Signal heads have appearances, such as green. As a test, I created four DCC Signal Decoder signal heads starting at 100. ?I am assuming the SE74 base address is 100. ?I then "moved" the user names from the SE8C heads to the DCC heads. ?After a store/stop/start/load, I tested closing turnout 1. ?The SML changed the signal mast aspects which then changed the signal head appearances which then sent the appropriate command to the LocoNet.
Note: ?The signal masts refer to the signal head user names. ?This makes the change to the signal head connection transparent.

Thank you again for your thoughts. I am using an SE74 and only have physical signals at four locations.? I read on another post that all of the turnouts should be set up even though they don't physically have signal masts.? I changed all the signal masts last night and still have the same original problem. I started working on turnout 01 and it has the same problem.? I do have sectors established so I will need to correct those but nothing further.? Also using BDL168, PR4, DCS52, 2DS64, 2DS74 all Kato track and turnouts, Digitrax signals.? I hope this helps.?
