I've assumed the role of data gathering to assist Bob in managing
decoder ID information. I'll be using Excel spreadsheet to expand on
Bob's previous list of decoder manufacturer and version information.
If you would like to contribute to the list, please forward your
decoder information to me at decoderpro_id_program@...
Be sure to include the following information;
Name of Manufacturer
Decoder Model Number (Name)
Decoder Type (Mobile, Stationary, Accessory)
Value of CV7
Value of CV8
Your contact information
Any comments that you may have with respect to the manufacturer of
the decoder or its version.

Bob,
With a clearer understanding of the need, I'd be willing to take
on
the task of compiling the decoder information. I assume you'd
want to
know the Decoders Manufacturer, Model Number and Version Number
(s).
How do you wan the data collected - spreadsheet (Excel), database
(Access) or other means?
Thanks!
I'd like to match the manufacturer name & their model number (i.e.
what people actually call the thing) with the values of CV7 and
CV8.
A specific model might have several values for these, and we
should
catch as many as we can.
Any way to store them is fine. I use a spreadsheet plus paper
notebook. A while back I uploaded the contents to the "database"
part
of the Yahoo group
method=reportRows&tbl=1
that's a convenient way to enter a line or two, or search for a
particular model, but it's an inconvenient way to work with the
whole
thing.
Bob
