Reply to "LCRU2 Replacement - Working even worse - RESOLVED"

The tuner coil in the corner of the LCRU2 adjusts the receiving frequency...*SNIP*

That solved the control issue.  I had to turn it quite a bit, maybe 1 or 1.5 full turns, I didn't count.  The sound is still just motor revs, no response to commands.  I gave it LCRU2 code 1, I don't know if that is correct or affects the Railsounds.  I am going to try GRJ's suggestion to pull the chips and reset them.  PLCC Puller ordered...

While trying to get the sound to work, I moved the railsounds board slightly in case there was a short.  This produced the sound of voices talking, quietly as if not through the speaker.  Thought it was the CrewTalk but then the voice announced the callsign to a local AM radio station!  Dialed the tuner a bit more to get rid of it.

I'd seriously give consideration to upgrading that with the ERR AC Commander, you'll get much better low speed performance and 100 speed steps.

Yes, but if I go with an ERR upgrade, this loco goes to the back of the queue which is about a half-dozen long already.  And it seems since replacing the LCRU didn't fix my issue, I now have an extra one of those to work with.
