mrc decoder in kato problems

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Wiring for DCC : One Thread

I installed an MRC Ad310 decoder in a dcc ready Kato HO scale loco. I'm using the new atlas dcc system. The headlights function but the loco will not move either direction? Manual tells hoe to program thru command 2000 controller and nothing else. Thanks for any help.

MRC are dumb decoders. If this were a Digitrax system you would do a status edit so the system knew it was a 14 or 28 step decoder and not a 128 step one. Check manual that came with Atlas system for how to change the speed steps.
