Hi claycts,
I have a couple MTH engines I run on my NCE system. I've never encoutered the 4 toots you described. To get the maximum momentum you need to input a value of 1 into CV's 3 and 4.

Dave so the fact I am using like 15 or 20 MAY BE why I get 4 toots. So Set CV 3 and 4 to ONE correct?
1. Forget changing any CV's on an MTH other than what they tell you in the book.
2. They have it so you program in ops (yes I learned how) and it gives (2) toots when it worked. I am trying to get some momentum in BUT I get (4) toots.
3. MTH will not tell you why you get (4) toots
4. Spoke to a person at MTH and they said just go DCS, I told him Thanks and hung up!
100% Digitrax (1) DCS 100 and (5) DB150. Jmri Decoder pro and a program booster on the program track.
I cured the address problem which was easy. JMRI is going to try and write a program to be able to set the couple of CV's that you can touch.
Thank you, not in my lifetime. Have ONE MTH and the balance are NORMAL. I just liked the looks and my wife got it for my birthday.
Well I joined the MTH forum, see if they have any plans to allow access. They have a printout for changing the address BUT it is a default system written for the Zephyer. I am spoled by decoder pro. never learned how to program in OPS mode.
