All
I ws programming some locomotives at a friend's operating session last night and found a couple of anomolies.
One friend had just gotten a brand new DSD-100LC-AT from Soundtrax and it has software version 35 which DecoderPro said it didn't recognize.
The second one is a little more complicated. He has amassed quite a few Atlas GP-38s. Without trying he ended up with two road names that had the same last two digits of the road number. He asked me to find a way to give them different but easily recognizable numbers. I took the first one and fired up DecoderPro and promptly changed it to a four digit number. I was elated, this was going to be easier than I though and Atlas has been lying to us about the decoder's capability.
The second locomotive would appear to take a four digit address but when you tried to operate it, it was still responding to the two digit address. When I went back and read the CVs, sure enough it was only two digit capable.
So the question becomes, did I get an Atlas decoder with an Easter Egg? Or is there some special configuration that will allow an Atlas decoder to accept four digit addressing? Both decoders report the same software version (45).
Any ideas?
