Sierra Sound with Aristo pulse width power ???
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, November 21, 2004 3:04 PM
Anyone using a Sierra sound card with the Aristo pulse width power pack?

I just installed the card in my tender and am having problems getting several functions to work.

Since the card sees a high voltage and not a variable voltage, I can't get the whistle to work on demand.

The 2 "toots" for forward and 3 "toots" for reverse don't work either.

All the background and other sounds work OK.

I have changed all the settings according to the manual ... no luck :-(

BTW: everything works great with a standard power pack.

Any ideas?

Aristo PW isn't good for ANY sound system. Phoenix, Sierra, or even the factory installed LGB. That's been well know thru-out the large scale community for quite a while now, and is the general conception. However, you will get nay-sayers, as with any controversial topic.
