Ahhh.....the joy of having an MRC decoder. Whistling [:-^]

You would be better off sending the decoder back to where it came from, and installing a Digitrax, Lok-sound, QSI etc than fooling with the MRC.

If you happen to get the MRC working, I think you will be less than satisfied.

Try restarting the system, and see if the decoder responds (kinda like a Microsoft Ctrl-Alt-Del)

Dang...maybe that's it? MRC decoders are windows based! Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]
