Last week-end I took the DCC plunge and purchased one MRC Prodigy Advance2 system + an Atlas GP-9 DCC equiped N scale engine.
After fiddling for about 2 hours I was able to have the engine running . I'm not completely satisfied because I can't adjust the starting speed: the engine starts to move only when the throttle knob is at the position 8.
The Configuration variable CV# 2 ( SV or Start Voltage ) was factory set to 8 so I reprogrammed it to a value of 1 but that didn't fix the problem.
There is no information about the decoder enclosed in the engine plastic box ( 1 bad point for Atlas ).
Does any member on the N scale subforum , who has the same engine , know a place where I could find that information ?
I checked Atlas subforum , but to no avail.
