MRC DCC compatability with Digitrax
|
Group,
I realize this group is more for wiring problems, but please hear me out.? I have posted to both the Digitrax and MRC DCC groups with no definitive ideas.
?
Background: I am (supposedly) the DCC guru of a club that uses Digitrax system. (DCS200 and 2 DB150 boosters). We run a variety of decoder equipped locos of all the major manufacturers with no problems. One club member has a Prodigy Advanced system with add on WIFI. He has several modern diesels from different manufacturers (Athearn Genesis, Kato, Walthers, and Scale Trains). Some have factory installed sound decoders while others have after market ones. ESU and Soundtraxx decoders. His locos have 4-digit addresses and are not consisted either by advanced or universal consisting.? His locos run quite well on his home layout.
?
The problem is that none of these diesels will run on our club Digitrax layout. One loco has the headlight come on when it is put on the track. None have sound, lighting or movement control. Needless to say, this is quite frustrating to our member.
?
We have resset the decoders with no change.
?
One response had heard of a similar problem at a club layout. A CV had to be changed, but the responder couldn¡¯t remember specifics.
?
So¡Can anyone on this group help?
Thanks much for your help.
Lee
