I also have a PHP system, and I have experienced this before, but only with older Digitrax DH120 decoders.
I adjusted the stop packet rate, and it fixed it.
ONLY problem is I can’t remember how I did it any more[:D] see, it was 10 years ago and the “fix” was emailed to me from NCE!
Yup, strange stuff at least to me! Makes me wonder… if I had increased from 1 to 2 as opposed to 5, would I have had the same results? Think I’ll leave well enough alone!
CV11 (in these cases) sets the length of time before the decoder “times out”. If set to 1, it means “wait one second, and if you haven’t received an instruction, then stop”. If set to 5, it waits 5 seconds, etc. If set to 0, the decoders will not time out, they will run indefinitely. Some DCC systems send instructions several times per second, on a constant basis, others may only send an instruction every so often.

Think I’ll leave well-enough alone, but it sounds like if I’d re-set CV11 to zero, that would have fixed the problem as well?
Check the decoder manual for the specific decoder, but CV11 = 0 usually means “never time out” so it should work.
