I replaced a failed processor board in a MTH Premier RDG Camelback 20-3359-1 and upon downloading the proper sound file, the quilling whistle feature no longer works even though the icon soft key is present. Is it possible that this needs a flash download to restore this feature? I did do a factory re-set, but that did not cure the problem. All other features work as expected.

If so, that can only be done by MTH. You cannot flash a PS2 board via the Loader Program.

Barry,
Yes, unfortunately that is true. I will contact MTH and see if in fact it needs a flash. I've always regretted that our technician loader program does not allow for flashing of O gauge engines.

Actually, both versions of the Loader Porgram (consumer and service) do allow flashing of MTH PS3 engines.
Eric you need the Flash Board with specific code for your engine. I believe the camel back also has small smoke, and you risk damaging the heater element with a normal PS-2 board.
The bad news is MTH maybe out of those PS-2 AE-14 boards now.
Flashing a PS-2 board is done with a production machine and also needs the correct processor. It is not a Dealer loader for PS-2. G
Barry,
You are correct as usual about the loader program.
GGG,
The engine does have the smaller smoke unit and thanks for the information. I will use the smoke units low setting, and hopefully no damage will result.
Thank you both for your help! I had hoped for an easier fix, but fortunately it is my own engine for a change and I can easily live without the quilling whistle.
