<p>[quote user="tstage"]Do you know if there are programming issues when using a TCS Wow with a TCS keep-alive?[/quote]</p> <p>Yes</p> <p>I have found when using NCE 5amp system, the keep alive causes issues on the programming track. </p> <p>Two work arounds:</p> <p>Program before plugging in the keep alive the first time to final test installation. </p> <p>If you are highly confident in your decoder installation, you can place in on the main and allow the decoder to charge, then move it over to the programming track. I have done this once or twice. I do not believe this will harm the command station in any way.</p> <p>You can also POM if you dont have anything else on the track.</p>
