I like the slow speed, but I don't like having to crank it to 50 on the DT 400 to get him moving. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Chip, I would suggest getting the cable that links your command station to your PC. Look on Digitrax.com or email them or something. And then download the JMRI DecoderPro software. It will save you HOURS of time screwing around with CVs. The software allows you to set start, mid, and max voltage or adjust each speed step individually to make it run just like you want it. Also it allows you to save your programming setup for each engine so it can quickly be reset. This will be very helpful, I see you are using a DH123 and they seem to forget things more than any other decoder I have worked with. And trust me on this one, Ive worked with LOTS of decoders. Not only on all of my own engines but I also run a little buissiness installing them for people. Ive probably done at least 150 installs in all. Anyway, get the PC-Loconet cable and download decoderpro. You wont be sorry.
