Hi Herb, <br /> <br />Thought I would let you know what I found out this morning. I called Digitrax and they told me at first, that I cound not run a MRC Decoder with the Digitrax System. He told me that "you get what you pay for" . I told him that I have come to that painful conclusion and needed help. He then told me that I would need the paperwork that came with the decoder. Of course, the place that I bought the engine from, did not send it. He then told me that I would have to put the machine in PHYSICAL MODE to be able to program the MRC <br /> <br />I then called MRC and asked them why their decoders would not work with the DIGITRX SYSTEM. I spoke to a FRANK in service, and he told me that the decoders should work with the Zephyer System. He also told me to program them in the PAGE mode, and not to use the PHYSICAL MODE as it would burn up the decoder. <br /> <br />Frank told me that if all else fails, send the engine to him at MRC and he would check it out. He said if the decoder was damaged, he would replace it and program it on their Zephyer System they have in the service department. I also told him of the problem that you were haveing, and he said to send him the engine, with no body on it. <br /> <br />This where I am now. I am going to post this on the fourm for everyone to see. <br /> <br />Bob
