How do I play all the sounds including start up

Hi All.  I have some diesel Locos with sound, but I cannot play all the start up sounds like priming and the compressor. And with the NCE POWERCAB how do I get to the higher numbers? Is it Something to do with the “ Shift Key?   Best wishes Kevin

I'm a long-time NCE user as well. 

Press option once gives you 13-19,  just press the number you want (3-9). 10 is automatically added.

Press option twice gives you 21-28. 

Prog/escape returns you to 1-12.

Important: Make sure the option key is programmed to 122 using cab setup. The default value is 94 (brake), change it to 122 (extended function). See pages 18-19 of the manual. Follow the instructions.

Hi Nigel.  Thank you for your reply. I knew that I was going wrong? But, didn’t know where I was going wrong.I am pleased that you mention the manual. I have a problem with my fingers at the time.  And pressing buttons is very awkward, using my iPad is bad enough when I clumsily land on the next / wrong key at the same time.                    Best wishes Kevin

Nigel's solution is also what I suggest: I program all the cabs' Option buttons to 122 as it makes using those higher functions much easier.

As you (Kevin) surmised, there are other key shortcuts/combinations that work as well, but this solution works better for many of us.

Hi Jeff. Thank you for your reply. Sometimes DCC like a lot of other stuff goes right over my head :mutley:mutley:mutley   But I hope to look into that as soon as possible.  Best wishes Kevin
