On the front of the booster you have a toggle switch that goes, OFF, P/R , RUN. what is the P/R for. Can not find info in manual or over looked it. Also what can it be used for while operating the layout.

Nicky:
It would be helpful if you specified what booster you have.

Sounds like you have a Digitrax booster the pr stands for programing. It comes in handy when you come across a stubborn decoder, your manual should have all the info you need as to how and when to use it. There is a Yahoo group that has the Digitrax forum, here is the address for it http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Digitrax/messages there is always some one to answer your questions, a good group to belong to for all the info you will need.

P/R has nothing to do wiuth programming.
What nicky seems to have aquired is an old DB100 booster. P/R sets the booster to be an autorevering booster, regular RUN is just a normal booster, OFF turns off track power.
Section 6.9 of the old Big Boy system instruction manual documents the Mode switch.

Zephyr with DB100 booster. Has been sufficient so far. But, am thinking of upgrading to newer db 150 booster.
Thanks Jim. I always forget about that group. Already a member.
