I was told by my hobby shop person to reset CV 125. How do I find CV 125 on a digitrax system and how do I reset it?
Why were you told to reset CV 125? What brand of decoder do you have that they told you to do this?
CV 125 is the reset CV for MRC.
Dont forget to give CV49 a value of 1 after the reset…or you wont hear any sounds.

if your Digitrax decoder needs to be reset (despite which locomotive its used in) cv08 is the way to go. set cv08 to a value of 08. that will do a total reset of your decoder back to the factory defaults. if you want to keep your programmed 128 speed steps , you can elect to program cv08 to a value of 09.
what kind of dcc system do you run? i can instruct only on how to use the dcs50 / dcs51 zephyr.
here is a link to digitrax home support page: http://www.digitrax.com/support/
here is a basic way which is kinda universal:
Your DCC Decoders have many different configuration variables (CVs for
short) that let you set up a different set of characteristics for each decoder
installed in a locomotive. When you want to change a loco’s address, set up
how its lights work, change its momentum characteristics, etc. you will program
new CV values into the appropriate CVs to set it up just the way you
want.
Each CV controls a characteristic of the decoder. See your decoder manual for
a list of the most commonly used CVs and their meanings. A Digitrax Decoder
Manual is included as a part of your Zephyr Xtra system. Each decoder comes
pre-programmed with factory settings that will let you run it right away. We
recommend that you use the factory settings until you are comfortable with
running your layout with Digital Command Control.
The factory set address for all Digitrax decoders is 03. This is the first CV you
will want to change because it is not very useful to have all of your locos
respond to the same address.
Decoders are programmed when the command station sends programming
information to them through the rails. Your DCS51 supports two types of programming:
Service Mode Programming is done on an electrically isolated programming
