There’s no such thing as reprogramming for conventional. You simply unplug your command base and then power up the unit. Your loco will look for the signal for a few seconds and then default to conventional.
First test the sound system in conventional with the horn and bell to verify proper operation
if you’re getting intermittent operation under TMCC, there are a few other things to try.
1) Verify that you can control a different loco properly via TMCC to rule out systemic issues. Your powered unit will be fine for testing.
2) Confirm that the antenna is attached to the underside of the shell, and that it is plugged into the motherboard.
3) Refresh my memory… does the R2LC board have a metal box with an opening on top (a tuner coil) in the upper left corner? If so, carefully adjust that with a flat blade screw driver by first moving it about 1/8 of a turn in one direction and then back to where it was previously. Don’t force it if it doesn’t want to move. Reinstall the board and report your findings.
