Title: 2-8-0 w/MRC sound
Post by: siemer on September 25, 2009, 04:53:38 AM
I'm running a Spectrum HO 2-8-0 after-market equipped with an MRC sound decoder.  It runs fine with my Bachman controller but I can't figure out how to adjust the sound with that equipment.  The MRC manual offers a very convoluted process for sound volume adjustment but it won't work with my Bachmann controller, one reason being because it asks me to use an F0 button that I do not have.  Anyone know if one can raise the volume on this thing with a Bachmann controller?  My thanks.

I don't have a Bachmann DCC system to try out, but most of the DCC systems use F0 to turn on/off the headlight. I believe the Bachmann system uses F10 for this, and I seem to recall seeing some instruction manuals (possibly for decoders) refer to F) as "F0/F10", so they should be the same. Try it and see if it works...

Good luck,
Bill
