The Athearn Genesis SD70ACE either comes with a Soundtraxx Tsunami decoder or DCC Ready with both an 8 and 9 pin plug. They don't come from the factory with a non-sound decoder.

Basic NMRA DCC Function Assignments don't go beyond F1 because at the time they were created, sound and all the light functions available in today's decoders were not even thought possible, so it was left up to the individual decoder manufacturers to determine which functions they would implement.

The decoder in the Genesis is a basic, non-sound TSC decoder.

What are the basic function assignments (ie. F0 = Headlight, F1 = Bell...) for the Intermountain Gevo series locomotives?  I am also needing that same information for a nonsound Athearn Genesis SD70ACE.  Thanks for any help guys!
