Thank you for the thought. I have just come onto the computer after sorting the problem out!!! It's either an embarrassment or a learning curve.
I returned the unit to the programming track, not PoM, to read what address it was supposedly working on, and the cv 1 read 8! No one had changed the address to 8, and it had worked on 3, so my thinking is that entering 8 into cv 8 actually changed the address of the unit to 8.
So, on the programming track I returned cv 1 to 3, and at the same time checked and changed any values (some had changed ) to what is given in the booklet..... It has done the trick, and the initial problem of painfully slow acc. and dec. has been cured. It has not slipped back to other settings again.
One lesson for me is the difference it makes for some decoders to always use the programming track, where as others can be happily modified PoM.
It is a pain, but I like the challenge and the learning.
I hope it may help some one else who reads this.
