What I do is that I enter "New Loco" in the menu, select "enter manually", then select "MM2 programmable", then on the "address" screen I click on + until I get to the right address, in this case "3". Is there another way?

You cannot change this for loco entries you already created. Hi, thanks for the info, again. I have loaded it on to the ms2 and it it runs great. Nice smooth speed steps. There's no need for any new decoder at all. I may get a DCC stay alive decoder, I'm not sure. But it runs through double slips and curve points without any problems.
