Guys, I finally found the problem. You’ll never guess what it was !
I’ll post it tomorrow with pictures - too tired now…
I have the Powerhouse Pro. When I got it home it would not read the decoders in my engines. The problem was that the top circuit board connector had come adrift from the bottom board. The distributor advised me that this would have occured in transit.
Yeah right. From my observation of the inside of the unit there was no way this came adrift due to transit. Plain and simple, it was a matter of lack of quality control.
Other than that the NCE unit is a dream to use.

Well, as promised - here’s what was causing the trouble and almost made me return the system - the power connecting track !
I had those old brass tracks lying around that have leads to connect track power. So I used them. Turns out thye have some kind of capasitor in them underneath. That thing was causing the problem on programming track and of course no problems when I used them on my DC layout.
Live and learn !
Glad to hear that you have the problem sorted out.
Enjoy.
David
