I’ve programmed an mSD3 decoder to have all the 32 functions available and with the latest firmware. Loco is controlled with MS2 on version 3,55. Everything works with DCC as expected, but with MFX, only 24 first functions are available. This is true to several locos. In all Märklin documentation it is stated that there are 32 functions available, but is this not true for MFX? What am I doing wrong? Thanks, -Eino

DCC works like magic though. -Eino

In the manual it says page 26 "The settings and digital functions can only be used in digital operation. However, the same possibilities are not available in all protocols. (This is an understatement not to say that in MM2 or DCC there are less fonctions because of the protocols). See here https://static.maerklin....bb60f4f6131663855985.pdf You may have to disable MM2 and DCC protocols on your decoder to have access to all fonctions. This may require the use of a CS3 CS2 or Märklin LokProgrammer. Cheers Jean
