Well let me first say that I'm not giving up on DCC.  I definitely can see the advantage over DC.  But, I'm not the MMR'er, my kids are.  Therefore, going back to DC would be a temporary thing until I can get DCC up and running. Next, I will try the user groups but that may take some time since summer is my busy time at work.  Which is the reason I'm calling on Friday afternoon. As for the Mom and Pop thing, I do understand.  Most of my music gear is made by such shops.  And they to go to conventions and such.  But, they always let me (and all their customers) know when they will be back.  Now for the wierd stuff:  1) I have a BLI engine that for some strange reason goes forward when reverse is selected and reverse when forward is selected.  2) According to the manual, it is suggested that long addresses are used instead of short addresses.  This is so short addresses can be used for consists.   Well......I can't enter a long address unless I code a short address.  And I can only enter three digit short addresses. 0-99 no matter how I enter them will get accepted. 3) As for consists, I have the same short address problem and I can only call up the consist with the long address.  This of course seems to confuse the system when selecting a loco over the consist. 4) The system seems to invent loco addresses.  When I turn on the system, sometimes the loco addresses last used are ready to run and other times I have addresses I never entered. 5) I have thought about trying to start over.  In otherwords trying to clear out all the stuff I've programmed.  I think it says how to do it in the manual but either I forgot how to read English or it's not written very clearly. 6) For all my BLI engines, I can not get the engine to shutdown.  I can double press F9 but nothing happens. Advance thanks for any and all help.
