Curious.  I don't have a V-5 but there is no mention of CV 48 or CV 285 in the V5 manual, both of which can control bell rate in the Select. 

I can't believe the V5 is less capable than earlier versions, but the documentation is lacking. The manual for the V5 is huge compared to the earlier versions.

Right now the only V5 I have is in the Rapido Royal Hudson. Other than the address I haven't tried any other changes. Might be different for the custom OEM sound project?

I have two other V5s but they're still in the package. I'll take a look if I have time later and maybe wire them up to the ESU decoder tester and see what I find.

The old Selects had a total of four bell choices IIRC, steel, brass, fast or slow.

Regards, Ed

Bell Rate with Loksound V5

Is it possible to adjust the bell rate (Fast or Slow) with the Loksound V5?

I could do this with the Loksound Select changing CV48.  But I couldn’t find the information in the Loksound V5 Manual.

Programming the Select was not an easy task. The V5 seems to be a nightmare to me.
