Bachmann DCC decoder

[MrMoose]

Is there a way to reset the bachmann DCC decoder to factory settings.

Yes, cv8 to 8 if your able to program cv's. If your using the EZ Command take all your loco's off the track put the EZ Command in the programming mode set the loco that you want to reset back on the track and press the address button you want. I have been told that this only resets the address, but I beg to differ as it sets my decoders back to their original state.

I tried that and it didn't work I have noticed that the loco does not jerk or move when cv's are changed.

I am having the same problem with a new EZ Command system and a Spectrum loco acquired second-hand.  If you get a successful response please let me know and I will do the same.

some dcc systems require the use of a 1k ohm resistor across the rails of the programming track in order to change cvs in a Bachmann decoder. my digitrax system is like that.

A 1000 Ohm, ¼ Watt resistor across the programming track is required for CV read and programming  a non-sound Bachmann(Lenz based) decoder used with a Digitrax Zephyr(DCS50) or Zephyr Xtra(DCS51).

The resistor is not required with the Bachmann E-Z Command Control Center or Dynamis DCC systems

If your issue is truly the same as mine, the answer is it doesn't have a DCC decoder.  I mistook the circuit board on my unit for a DCC decoder when it really is only a DC circuit board that only controls the lights and motor.
