More DCC
Okay, we've walked you through the basic features and functions available in DCC
(F0..F8) but, there is much, much more. In fact, we've filled up functions F9
through F28. Some controllers are available today that provide easy access to F9
through F12 however, we don't know of any that allow you to press a button for
F13 through F28. When the DCC controllers expand to include these functions,
your MTH HO engine will be waiting. Here is a list of the F9 through F28
functions present in your engine with a brief description of how they work.
F9 Forward Signal Sound
Plays 2 short whistle toots to signal the engine is moving forward
F10 Reverse Signal Sound
Plays 3 short whistle toots to signal the engine is moving in reverse
F11 Coupler Slack Sound
When sitting still, arms the system to play the sound of coupler slack being pulled
out as the engine moves.
F12 Grade Crossing Whistle
One button push will blow the whistle for 1 long, 1 short, and 2 longs to signal for
a grade crossing.
F13 Doppler
