Assuming the under-F2 contacts aren't a little tired, or even defective, Tom, I'd say you have a communication problem, and yes, it might very well be a glitch in the programming.

There aren't any function contact(s) on the Lokprogrammer itself, Crandell.  I'm using a Windows tablet as the interface.  So, I'm guessing it has to be a firmware issue of some kind.  I may try posting the above on the Loksound Groups forum and see what they suggest.

I've had the opposite happen, no F2 with the power cab but it works with the lokprogrammer.  DCC poltergeists.

Loksound Select & Lokprogrammer phenomenon
Posted by tstage on Thursday, July 26, 2018 11:44 PM

Greetings all,

I was using my Lokprogrammer this past evening to upgrade the firmware of my Select decoders and ran across an issue that has me scratching my head.  When using the Lokprogrammer built-in throttle with two of the locomotives, the horn would not activate when pressing F2 but would if activated with my NCE Power Cab.

Is this a possible glitch with the Lokprogrammer firmware?  I updated that firmware before upgrading the firmware of my Select decoders.  It's not a huge deal.  I'm just curious why it might be happening.

Thanks,

Tom
