WOW Sound decoder woes........
A number of years ago I purchased a WOW Sound steam 101 decoder with keep alive but never installed it in any locomotive. I am very partial to the QSI Titan decoder as their stereo feature is really noticeable in my O scale steam locomotives. I finally had a chance to install the WOW in an Alco 2-8-2 Minaret with a single speaker because it’s decoder was acting wonky.
Digitrax's new SuperThrottle
I think Digitrax has been listening when people have been beating up on them regarding ergonomics, ease-of-use, and User Interface issues.
They've just introduced the DT-602 series throttle:

NCE Light It Programming with JMRI
Hi everyone,
I am having issues reprogramming the address for an NCE Light It decoder I have on an aux. tender with to light functions. NCE instructions don't appear to work.
It is certainly operational on 3 but I have failed to reprogram it to a long address (3280).
This is my first time with the Light It and any help would be appreciated.
I have JMRI and DecoderPro via a Pi Sprog One.
Harness Alternatives
Atlas has some very nice trackside signal products especially those based on the BLMA items. Due to a number of reasons associated with the COVID virus, the connecting harness, Atlas 70-000-050, is neither in stock nor expected soon at any of the retailers or web merchants I have contacted.
Any work arounds? I would think the connect piece itself is a common item?
Need help with JMRI signal aspect problem
I'm new to using forums so forgive me if I do anything wrong.
I need help with JMRI - the signal mast aspects that I've allowed in the Signal Mast table are not the only ones being driven by JMRI and sent to the signals.
