Yes, at 30 it should take about 25 seconds to hit top speed if you crank the throttle all the way up from a dead stop, according to the formulat in the manual.

Randy, I sat CV 3 & 4 to 30, that should slow down the start up speed quit a bit, right? I will try cranking them all the way up and see what happens.
Thanks for the answers. Ken

Keep in mind the allowable range in a Loksound decoder is twice that of Digitrax - 0-64 for Loksound vs 0-31 for Digitrax. So each number is less momentum than the equivalent number in a Digitrax decoder. The Loksound manual says the defaults are 8 for CV3 and 6 for CV4, not 0 and 0, so using any lower number will result in faster acceleration than a stock reset one. Changeing from 8 to 10 won;t be as big a difference in operation compared to changing a Digitrax decoder form 8 to 10, so it could just be you haven't used a large enough value to make a noticeable difference.

Try changing the CVs on the main. That way you can dial them to what you think is best and try it instantly.

I pray every day I break even, Cause I can really use the money!
I started with nothing and still have most of it left!
My PCM Y6-b has a Loksound 3.5 decoder and I am using a PR 3 with Decoder Pro. I am wanting to change CV 3 and 4. I put in the settings I want and hit write, decoder beeps and then it is done. I then read all CV's and the CV's I changed shows up to what I sat them for.
Places it on the track, still starts and stops the same as before.
I am letting the PR 3 / Decoder Pro pick its own mode. Could that be the problem?
Even if I cannot change the CV's, still a small prices to pay for a great sounding and smooth running decoder.
Ken, have not bugged you folks for a while here.
