QSI CV on Athearn Gas Turbine
Posted by JRP on Monday, October 25, 2021 10:39 AM

Is anyone familiar with the QSI decoder for the Athearn Gas Turbine?  I'm trying to figure out how to slow the bell rate using JMRI.  I cannot find any information on the QSI decoder info that allows you to adjust the bell rate.  It rings way too fast for what I think it should for the prototype.  Is there a standard CV that will allow you to do this?

Thanks for reading.

I don't think it's possible unless you have version 9 firmware. Pages 134-137 of their manual talks about the bell.      Joe

Joe, yes, you are correct.  I would need version 9 firmware.  My version is 8 and does not come with the different things you can do with the bell.  Too bad.  I think the only way to correct this is to replace the old decoder with a newer one, maybe from Soundtraxx.  Thanks for the information.
