The NCE system tries to send the second data packet to the chip before the chip finishes announcing the CV value, so the chip doesn't receive the second data packet.</p><p>I hope this helps,</p><p>Don Z.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Small correction -- it isn't the NCE system, it's the QSI chip. When you have "verbal feedback" enabled (CV 62 set to 1), the little dude inside confirms any changes by saying "CV xxx value yyy". That's great in most cases, but as QSI documents (in slightly more technical terms), while the guy is talking, he ain't listening. </p><p>To change a long address, you actually change CV 17 <strong>and</strong> CV 18. And if you're switching from a short address to a long address, or vice-versa, you're <strong>also</strong> changing CV29. The NCE system nicely figures this all out and sends two or three changes in succession. But if the little dude is confirming the first change, he ignores the other(s). That's why you need to set CV 62 to zero. </p><p>This is true with any DCC system that changes more than one CV at a time, and may also give you fits if you use DecoderPro to change more than one CV at a time. </p>
