RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / Issue with making custom sound file
« Last post by CPRail on December 21, 2025, 01:22:50 PM »
Hi Group,

I'm trying to load a custom horn file (which I've done before) and I get an "Error - Format not PCM!" message. The specific files are in WAV format, 705kbps bit rate, 1 channel (mono), sample rate is 44.1 kHz. From what I can tell this is all correct as per the Ring manual for the RailPro Assistant.

What am I doing wrong?

It does look easy to replace the batteries. Unfortunately I’ve already sent the controllers to Ring Engineering.  Next time.

The Batteries are not hard to replace.

Had this happen to me too.  If you let batteries sit too long they slowly loose charge then did. He told me to pull it out periodically and charge it.  I now do that every 3 or so months. And do the engine batteries too.

Thank you. It is more than that. Ring Engineering says batteries are bad.

It may be a bigger problem, but make sure you plug the charger cable into the outlet first and then the HC-3 second.

Hi there,

I’m just getting back into model trains and am charging my HC-2 using a PA-3 and cable. I keep getting the attached screen flashing every minute or so. What does it mean?

Thanks,

- Jeff

RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / Re: cannot connect to rp server

Hm. I have not hear of any connectivity issues in years.

I suggest reaching out to Ring Engineering to troubleshoot it with them.
A phone call can go a long way with this sort of thing.

Let us know how you make out!

RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / cannot connect to rp server
« Last post by Dodgezilla04 on December 16, 2025, 10:36:16 AM »
good morning. the rp assistant cannot connect to the server. i did a bunch of searching and reading. I do not speak computer geek.  i have turned off the firewalls completely, thats not it.
read a bunch about a udp test, following the links never actually takes you to a test. had my younger son come look at it. he followed things and put stuff in the command prompt as directed from one of the threads, but there was something not typed correctly in the post when we copied and pasted into the command prompt.

its 2025, it should not require a computer engineering degree and having to type a bunch of stuff into a dos prompt to get a program to work.
is there a simpler way to make things happen?
thank you

i agree that the ebay fee is high!

if it were me, and you have a well-attended train show in your area, that would be my choice.
