What I am trying to understand work out is how to program k83 6083 decoder to Mobile Station 2? My experience so far has only been with the Turnout 74460 decoders which are very easy to set the address. If the question has already been ask, I am sorry however I could not find anything. Cheers JVT

I have not done this in a while but as far as I can recall if you set the dip switch to "5" for example then then 5,6,7 and 8 would be the 4 positions on your MS. Regards Leon

I reckon that'll be 81 through 84 on the MS2. Better use -23-5-7- to get addresses 1 through 4 (avoids a lot flipping through pages in the MS2).

They forgot to mention that in the manual. Just go for the group marked "1 (1)" in the manual. You can choose between "1-4", "5-8", "9-12", and "13-16". For group "2 (1)", add 16 ("17-20" &c). For group "3 (1)", add 32 ("33-36" &c). And so forth.

The first is to scroll adresses one step forward or and backward. The second is to scroll faster by use "shift"+driveknobs. Numbers can only show up maximium two at the time on the screen display of MS2.

So how do you reckon the number for "DIP 6(1) 1...4 1--4--7-" (taken from the 60830 manual) to the turnout number you have to use with the MS2? You say this information can be found in the MS2 manual ...

And you cannot see turnout address in the k83 manual. That's why the TS asked about it (read his question again). And I still think they forget an important piece of information in the k83 manual for those who want to use them with an MS2 (and they don't provide that information in the MS2 manual either). But let's just agree to disagree about that.
