Hello.
First of all this is my very first point decoder. It is not 74461 but previous version. Which one exactly? I got it by accident couple months ago with no need to use it. But last weekend I thought why not give it a go. Soo first I checked what address it was set up to. And it was 274 on DCC. Am I right?

I set up my MS2 on Keyboard 18: 273/274 and tried switching it but nothing happened. Then I changed it to address 1

and tried it again without success one more time.

Am I doing this right? Is there any way to check is the decoder working? The solenoid is ok. I checked it on its own and it is in perfect order.

I tried different connection to the track without success. Any ideas?

Hi!

Do not use the 74461 manual to set DIP switches on a 74460 decoder (the latter does not have DCC and the meaning of the DIP switches is completely different).

74460 manual:

As I said. I had no idea about them. With your help I'm en expert now BigGrin
Old and new. No DCC. If no DCC then MM only?
Looks like it was set up to address 241 MM not 247 DCC as I thought. And my 1 is not 1. It is actually nothing. There is no address for this setting.
I will try it tonight and let you know tomorrow.
Thanks H0
