Model Railroading > Atlas switching to Loksound

Just noticed the new GP40-2 will be equipped with Loksound. I see the same for the re-release of the AEM-7. No more QSI from Atlas? I can't say I'm disappointed and look forward to hearing them.

They switched awhile back. I believe the latest run of HO RS-3's, C424/425's and RS-1's had Loksound. Bruce

True - they did switch a while back - RS-3, RSD4's & 5's, C424's & 425's, RS-1's & S2's. QSI sound must have been affecting their sales & with all other manufacturers going to LokSound or Soundtraxx, it was the RIGHT move. I know I'm happy they switched...

To truly program the Lok sound decoder u will need Lok sound 199.00 programer JMRI cant see all the CV that are on the decoder They are nice but a pain the butt to program

I slso seem to recall that Intermountain moved from QSI to Tsunami to Lok. Sounds like competition combined with customer complaints drives the bus. Remember Athearn and MRC? ouch!

Do you think it will be on the c40-8w's that are shipping now? Steve

I bought a WOW sound decoder and tried to program it on the test stand. Looks like I need to go back to the books on this one. JMRI won't do the job either. I just reset it to default and put it aside until I get my Xanax refilled.

I use a Soundtrax PTB1000 program booster for a couple WOW Sound decodes ( and others)
And have never had a problem. If you are not using a program booster, that is your problem.
