Reply to "PROBLEMS WITH THE PFA BUTTON"

Sometimes, when you come across a signal issue like you may be experiencing here, it might be helped somewhat by cleaning the track. Give it a good wipe down, i find that sometimes it helps when one of my PS loco's gets wonky.

From the DCS manual;

Track Signal

DCS allows you to test the power distribution to your track, so you can find and repair weak spots.

1. Go to the active engine list and select the Proto-Sound 2.0 engine you will use to test the track signal.

2. Scroll through the softkey list and select the softkey under More.

3. Scroll down to Track Signal in the complete softkey list.

4. After about a second the LCD will show you the track quality in the form of a number that gets updated once per second. For most operations, a number of 5 or higher is strong enough to run your layout. For especially data intensive operations, such as Proto-Cast and sound set downloads, your may find that a higher number is required.

5. When you are ready to stop checking track signal and return to normal operations, press and hold the S5 softkey under END for 1-2 seconds until the LCD returns to the active engine screen.
