Early Genesis Challengers (as well as other early sound equiped locos) had MRC decoders.  32 is correct value for CV7 thou CV8 should be 143.  There's the CV list from the manual:

CV REGISTER DESCRIPTION RANGE FACTORYVALUE
CV1 R1 Short address 1—127 3
CV2 R2 Start voltage 0—32 0
CV3 R3 Acceleration 0—32 0
CV4 R4 Deceleration 0—32 0
CV5 --- Top voltage 0—32 32
CV29 R5 Basic Configuration --- 2
CV7 R7 Manufacturer Version # --- 32
CV8 R8 Manufacturer I.D. --- 143
CV17 --- Long address upper byte 192—231 192
CV18 --- Long address lower byte 0—255 3 
CV19 --- Advanced consist address 1—127 0
CV52 --- Sound volume MIN/MAX 0 or 1 1
CV64 --- Chuff rate 0—10 5 
CV105 --- User identifier number 0—255 0
CV106 --- User identifier number 0—255 0

The MRC decoder for Athearn came with a 6 button remote control for use on DC.
