Using the NCE 'program on the main' or the JMRI Decoder Pro programmer was not effective in making changes. Early LokSound were somewhat proprietary in design - to program these decoders you need to LokSound programmer device. I've heard that the LokSound Select decoders are more "friendly" with DecoderPro. A couple of recommendations for the club - 1.) We need more education and skills working with LokSound decoder 2.) Might need to have the LokSound programmer device incorporated into the "programming station" Also, be aware that more manufacturers are using LokSound than ever before - the latest Athearn announcements mentioned LokSound to be used in their UP 4-8-4, Intermountain has adopted them in all their models, Atlas is adopting them, Rapido is using them, Walthers. Looks like it's time to include support for this at the club. Question - Who are the LokSound experts in the club that can help provide education and skill training for this, and provide suggestions on what we need to purchase, if anything, to support re-programming decoders?
