James,

I do get similar problems with the functions.
If you are controlling a loco on controller 2(Right Hand Side) and operate the functions they switch on for BOTH controller 1 and 2.

I just switch them back off on controller 1(Left Hand Side) and all works fine.

Still get the odd CV29 reading back one digit higher than programmed, still works ok though!

I've had no other problems.
It works with Digitrax DZ123, ESU Loksound and basic Bachmann decoders.
It can also program the Team Digital SMD82 points decoder.

The only thing I would like on my 'Wish-List' is to make the functions easier to operate other than that, it does what it says on the tin.

Precisely

Happy modelling

I'm really after some peace of mind with this question but, Does everyone elses Elite make a kind of whistle type noise while it's powered up? mine is quite noisey and I don't have anything else like it to compare with. While we're at it, what about the likes of Lenz & Digitrax, do they make any "don't stick your fingers in here or you'll get a wollop" type noises?
I hope I'm not asking silly questions , but the noise was a little alarming the first time I switched the thing on, it does make it sound like it's doing something, but after years of only barely audible transformer hum from various DC controllers it does have me wondering if it's supposed to do that.

Not true - or at least it didn't happen that way. Lenz had already developed their version of DCC when the NMRA started to look around to see what was on offer when they started to take an interest in the subject. They chose the Lenz method as their basis, as being the best implementation of the principle at that time, with plenty of expansion capability. This was the so-called 'Baseline' system (most know it as '2 digit'). When the NMRA took over, they expanded the standards to include the Advanced features we expect to see today.

I totally concur with this. Bernard Lenz is the father "if you like of modern DCC". Overall the NMRA DCC standards have been very successful and far sighted given that the ones were currently playing with were ratified quite a number of years ago.

Mine is basically silent (except when programming when it clicks).

Has anyone taken the control knobs of their Elite ?? - I like to fit a taller knob of the same sort of diameter if thats possible.
