No Sound
Posted by alloboard on Monday, November 7, 2011 1:43 PM

     I have a Digitrax SDH164D installed on many of my locomotives a year ago I tested the whistle and bells and they all worked fine. I eventually programed each locomotive with a separate address corresponding to their road numbers. Now a year later I'm trying to get them to run again they did but the bells and whistles don't work when I sound them. I have a Digitrax DB150 and a PR3 system hooked to my PC. How will I re enable the sounds for my locomotives.

It was the F8 button. Indeed. I's been a long time since I last used the system. I can't believe how much I have forgotten.

That ole 8 key is embarrassing sometimes.Embarrassed

Since I've gotten the newer Zephyr Xtra I am reminded by the "Mute" green light for the engine I've dialed up, also same for my DT402 as the #8 is in the display if that engine is muted. Comes in handy for this forgetful mind. Big Smile

Wadda ya mean I'm old ? Just because I remember gasoline at 9 cents a gallon and those big coal burning steamers.

 No green light but the little 8 will show up on the DT402 is F8 is activated.
