You are probably better off trying the yahoo groups specifically for Lenz equipment or the MRC yahoo group for equipment technical answers. They have many knowledgeable people who can answer your questions. However, even at those sites, you may not get an answer right away if no one knows the answer to your question. Lenz and MRC do have company websites with email address you can also use for answers to your questions as well.
After you overcome your frustration...keep having fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, since no one in the forum responded for any assistance, I was able to get a solution.
First, the MRC decoders are the wrong ones for the Lenz system. You can't program them as accessory decoders, but as a loco address. They are for the Prodigy system and not very flexible.
Thanks for everyone's input.
Very poor forum feedback.

DCC programming Turnouts

In my ongoing effort to grow my new layout with DCC, I have wired two turnouts and have a total of 7 to go. However even though I "think" they are wired correctly (MRC AD360 and get a green light) I can't figure out how to program the decoder. I use a Lenz LH90 Set and their manual only shows how to switch turnouts or signals in a command selection of the handheld. I have wired two #65 Atlas switches to the decoder and wired according to the MRC diagram. The MRC manaul says "other DCC systems" use the "consisting" for locomotive section of a programming system.
Would love to tesst out my turnout and get on with completing my phase 1 of the Florida East Coast Keys Extention.
Any help is appreciated!
