Hi All,

I have a CTelektronik DCX74 decoder fitted in a loco working well but i cannot reset the decoder to 03 or change the address despite following the instruction i have and a search on the net only show the same directons, i did hear they have the same characteristics as Zimo is this true ?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Nick

You haven't locked the decoder by any chance?

To reset the decoder to factory settings, set CV1 to 0. See Section 5 of the English instructions for the DCX74 on the CT website (www.tran.at).

also try programming in a different mode, not sure what system you have but my digitrax can do paged,direct and physical. i struggled with one of their tiny decoders while trying to use paged mode. but i can't remember which one worked cos it was a year ago.
