MTS decoder problem

[Mohawk Valley]

I’ve recently bought a LGB 21471 rack engine, which has a MTS sound decoder fitted.
Trying it on my system using a DIGITRAX DCS51 controller and a Gaugemaster prodigy 2, I get no reaction whatsoever. It makes no difference what address I put in, the engine is simply dead. Likewise on DC totally dead. Reading CV 1 returned a break in circuit response…
The engine has been sent back to the retailer where it was bought. They’ve just phoned me to say they tested it on a Maerklin DCC set up and it works perfectly! On a couple of other systems they have, there was very limited functionality. So…
My question is, is there a specific CV setting that enables all operating systems to work? Is there a DIP switch that needs to be switched on?
The retailers have tried a factory reset and it made no difference running perfectly well on the Maerklin system!
Advice please as I do really like the engine.

Cheers
Martin

Nice little engine. Hope you are able to get it functioning.

Best practice to test it on another or different DCC system, maybe a friend has.

If it was HO I would say it was a Märklin MFX decoder, those are all the symptoms.

Well, it’s been ‘fixed’ and is on its way back to me. I will post more information on this when it returns. At the moment, I can’t remember which version of decoder it is, but I know a lot of the CV’s were not reading what they should do…more later!
