Locked MTH DCS/DCC Decoder #mth

 

Bob, our club has two MTH locomotives one is an A-B-A F unit and the other a Milwaukee Road Bi-Polar. They respond to programming with Decoder-Pro but have one feature that can't be changed. In order for the sound and lights to be active you must push F3 prior to applying power to the motor. I contacted them and they told me that they would not change that feature. At any rate they run nice but if they stop due to loss of power and then start up again they run silent until you stop and click on F3 and start it again. Hope this helps,

Sounds like the loss of power issue is a track issue, not a manufacture problem.....

Happy with all my Proto 3 Sound Units , especially after doing their software updates

Good evening,
?
I have some problems with MTH / DCC decoder.
?
JMRI Decoder Pro is never stable when detecting and reading CVs.
?
In DCC impossible to put the CV 8 to 8 to reset the decoder.
?
Now I have no traction or sound in DCC, but traction OK in analog.

Thank you in advance !

I guess it’s Foot in the mouth, since it’s a non signer of this post.?

Of course your CV8 comment doesn’t work. ?To reset a MTH decoder, you choose address 55 and then CV55 and a value of 55. ?This must be done on the main, not program track. If you want to reset a MTH decoder

I have never had a problem reading the programmable ?CV’s using Decoder Pro, using program mode.?

More fake news am myths, that plagued MTH, in forums.?

Now if you are a guy or woman, not sure with no signature, that needs the DCC sounds of toilets flushing etc. Then MTH in DCC mode isn’t for you

Dave, It depends.

Reading thru the three existing? DecoderPro definition file for MTH .

Early version decoder was Reset : CV55 = 55 on program track only

The next decoder revision has this :

In OPS MODE ONLY? (Program on Main mode)

Reset All CV's : CV8 = 8
Reset ALL CV's except Speed Table : CV8 = 192
Reset Volumes, Smoke, and Lioght settings: CV8 =64
Reset Address : CV8 = 128

On Program Track only (Service Mode)

RESET? all CV's : CV55 = 55

Hello, thank you Marc.? Dave why this ironic tone?? because I forgot to put my name?? I have already posted and helped here.? For MTH no problem with, I buy several in O. again thank you Marc I will try quickly.? Fran?ois
 

good evening
?
I tried the solutions but:
?
CV8: impossible to modify because the "write" column is grayed out and can not be modified.
?
CV55: I do not have a CV55 in my list of CVs.

Program on the main

Set locomotive address to 55

Call up CV55

Make value 55

This should reset your decoder to factory settings

re
?
Thanks to Al Babinsky I found all the functions and traction.
?
The CV8 has been modified via "edit individual CVs" via PanelPro
?
Another big thank you Al

Fran?ois,

CV 8 is purposely greyed out in the definitions to prevent accidental writing.

To reset, in the top menu bar of the roster entry is an item labeled Reset. Click on that and click on factory reset in the drop down menu. Depending on the decoder you may have one or more reset options.

Fran?ois,

Tricks like the reset methods via a single CV is to use the
Tools->Programmers->Single CV Programmer, that is from PanelPro. From
DecoderPro it is found at Actions->Single CV Programmer.

You can pick the programming method and just type in any CV values
regardless of if it was in the roster entry or not.

That’s the issue for me running MTH with other locos not MTH. Got rid of mine.?
