Re: cannot get throttle to work

Howard,

Is it just this loco or any loco? What address are you using? With
SPROG, addresses 1 - 127 default to short addresses. Addresses > 127
are extended addresses. Are you using an address in the range 100 - 127
and expecting it to be extended? Can you read the decoder OK?

... It happens with all locos. All are set to short addresses - I don't use 100-127 as a short address because of the ambiguity. In all cases I can read/write...
