Dale, I had a similar problem,after playing with it for a while I returned it to Digitrax and it came back fine. Brian ... control ... when i ... have ... ...
Bob: I noticed that with my PR3 I wasn't getting enough voltage when Soundloader happily told me... I had it on my 12 vdc main bus and it just wasn't enough....
After working with a number of these boards, I have noticed that some are very sensitive to the power applied to them. If even slightly underpowered, they can...
I have done some checking, aside from the power issue there are issues with the data rate for the virtual com port. Looking at the JMRI site is says I need to...
Bob, I don't know where you got your info re JMRI settings but the USB port will be locked at 57,160 baud rate and this is the only choice that will be made...
dick and brian, thanks for your suggestions. dick--i will try another power supply. brian--if i decide to return it to digitrax, is there anyone specific that...
Marc, Thanks for the reply. When I read about the lover rate I changed to it. While I was looking around I saw the flow control was not set to hardware, so I...
... Those are the MS100 rates, and aren't applicable for the PR3. If you point me to the page that says those baud rates, I can fix it. ... I find that if you...
... Please don't fuss around. You'll just frustrate yourself, because there are hundreds of ways to set the hardware up, mostly wrong.. Instead, start at the...
I have noticed a few gremlins with the PR3 also. Most of the time, I can read/write most any decoder I throw at it. Here are the examples of the gremlins. ...
... Tom, If you haven't added a motor or other load to that NCE tester, it's not surprising you can't get decoders to read back with it. Those "direction...
Thanks for the replies. I'll try the first suggestion of installing the battery while it's plugged in, first, before considering a new plug. -Jeff ... can't...
Bob S, Before I point a finger, I want to know were to point it. Digitrax makes great hardware. Mixing things up can cause surprises and create a learning...
Like he said. The motor is what gives the 'acknowledge' feedback in a loco/decoder. No motor, no ACK, no go. Some have said the PTB-100 or PowerPax is...
Bob: Looking back in on this thread I see frustration building... Can I ask if you've gotten the PR3 to do anything? Since it's two things in one box we can...
... cause ... Dick, Yes I'm using RR&Co -- and by the way I love it. I don't have any reason that it would be taking control of these switch locos, they ...
Steve and Marc, Thanks for the info. You are correct, I don't have a motor load attached to the tester. I'll give that a try. Sometimes the obvious eludes me. ...
If RR&C is running at the same time as you are running with a hand held throttle, be sure to check the box in RR&C 'Assign engine (train) to digital system....
Ollie is correct. You don't have to be running on a schedule for TC to "steal" a loco while it is running with a hand held throttle. As he said, make sure that...
I'd like to follow up on the possibility of RR& Co causing operating issues. My friend has RR & Co tracking and running trains, while we also operate manually...
Marc, Its great that he responded with the PR3 it solves the issue with serial ports which are becoming less likely to be included in a basic PC or laptop and...
Bob, Frustration with Digitrax documentation is nothing new, and there have beeen numerous threads here and elswhere on the topic. Suffice to say that the...
Bill, This is exactly what happened to me a while back when I did not assign the loco to the digital system. I found it when I had my DT400 plugged in and it...
I continue to have problem with my Zephyr version Po12 – the loc configuration is partly lost trough a power cycle. I posted a message on the problem last...
I got it on another Yahoo forum that I belong to. Unfortuantely, all the spammer has to do is spoof the email address of a legitimate member of the forum, and...
Bob S, Glad you got it working. Great bunch of people here. I agree with your comment re Digitrax and their documentation. It is as clear as mud. Lucky we have...
I was just watching your You tube. I see that you assign ADD 01 to the Xephyr, ADD 04 to JUMP1, ADD 05 to JUMP2. I also see you did a reset prior to all this...
I have the same problem with my Zephyr (bought summer 2008). I raised it with my UK dealer, who found it also affected others he had in stock. The dealer has...
... I agree...it took me a while to realize this battery does not just maintain things only when the system is shut off - it is the ONLY power source for these...
