Joe Fugate: Question regarding DCC decoder brands

Joe <br /> <br />You said you have a DSD100LC in a loco of yours; I have a problem with my decoder and was wondering if you have had this problem in any of yours at all. When my loco is just sitting on the track and the power is on but no one has called it up on the system it takes off after a while at full throttle. I can also run it then release from the controller and in a 30 min period it will take off like a F16, plowing anything in its path. I then programmed it so it was manual notching on the throttle and Soundtraxx says your engine won't move unless it is in notch one or better. I hate to say it but Soundtraxx was wrong on that one, it takes off even when it is in the off position and no sound at all is coming from the chip. I have about 60 engines with chips and I have narrowed it down that a command over loco net is what triggers it to take off. There is no one command that does this but if I change the direction of a different train or change speeds (can be any train so I know it’s not MU’d) that will triggers something in the chip to make it run away. I run Digitrax a DCS200 & DCS100, any thoughts or problem you have had about this on your end? <br /> <br />Also, I was wondering if you know a time frame on when your other videos will be available. <br /> <br />Thanks, <br />Ross <br />
