RP sounds and DCC issue

<< < (3/3)

KPack:
2.30 is not the issue.  I have several locomotives with LM-3S and various TCS keep alive's.  They are all at 2.30 and there are no issues whatsoever.  I also have several locomotives with 2.30 LM-3S and PBM modules, and no issues there either. 

If the PBM is giving you a consistent time before cutoff every time you try and move the locomotive then it seems likely that there is some sort of an issue.  Could be anything from a really bad connection from the track to the PBM (some manufacturers use wire that easily breaks internally), incorrect wiring on the PBM, maybe an uninsulated PBM, to a faulty PBM. 

And I also would ignore the "power the PBM for 3 minutes before moving".  It works almost immediately.  Capacitors do take some time to reach full charge, but I have never had an issue with turning on the power and immediately starting sound and movement.
