Need help with two LifeLike Geeps (GP7 and GP30) with different issues.
I have recently acquired two Life Like Geeps. One is a GP7 Phase II that was new in box. The other is a GP30 that was lightly used. My goal was to add DCC to both and consider sound for both. I got 2 Digitrax DH165LO decoders as plug in replacements for the factory light boards. Worked fine in the GP7, but no lights in the GP30.
Block Detection & Signalling...
Hi All,
As part of the continuing growth of the JL&T I have started to research block detection & signaling for the layout. My plan of attack is to look at the available options and implement the chosen method in the L&T Branch first before I tackle the greater portion of the layout.

Adjusting QSI Sound
I'm hoping someone here will know how to do this. I have an F7A/B set with QSI sound in both. I would like to set the sound in one so that it is slightly different, i.e. not precisely like the other. I did this with another F7A/B set which has Tsunami in both. To make one a bit different, I added reverb ala Bruce P's suggestions. But I can't figure out what to adjust (if anything) for the QSI units. Any advice?
Which DCC throttle is the most confortable for layout visitors?
I hosted my first OPS session last week with a small group. I have a Digitrax system (all radio) with both simplex DT100R and DT300R; and duplex DT402D and UT4D throttles.
