Bachmann Sound Value Adjustment
Posted by cowman on Saturday, March 5, 2016 11:00 PM

Trying to shut off the automatic whistle signals for forward, reverse and stop on my 2-6-0.  I find where CV197 default setting is 6 but I cannot find what to set it at to shut it off.

Thank you for your help.

Have fun,

Richard

Program CV 197 to 4 to disable the automatic whistle signals when running the Sound Value equipped 2-6-0 using DC.  This leaves the automatic bell enabled.

Assuming you're running on DC,

CV197=6 for automatic bell and whistle,4 to keep the bell and 0 to turn both off.

Thank you for your responses. 

I am operationg in DCC and since both your comments referred to DC, it got me to looking more closely at the literature I had.  Though nothing referred to adjusting the DCC sounds, I did see that CV 198 delt with DCC.  Adjusted it and got the silence I was looking for.

Thanks again,

Richard
