ERROR98 after updating Roco multiMAUS => Who can help? (h0-modellbahnforum.de)

thank you that seems a sensible thing to do I see if I can add the decoder type in the loco description in the Z21

First sorry if this is in the wrong area. I want to fit a decoder to a old set I got off E-bay. My question is can I get a board from anywhere that I fit and than fit a chip to that. I hope that makes sense

I am going to use the ZIMO ones in the future thanks for the adivce

thanks for that

Sorry will try to give better info I am now only using the Roco Z21 system I only buy new decoders I have just reiceved 2 new ones the Zimo MX600R the STANDARD+ V2" 1.0/1.8A 3 FUNCTION OUTPUT A,B,C. by Digital plus by Lenz I am at the moment only buying piko trains which are either digital ready or have been in a digital starter set (I needed track to build a layout and a control system I thought this was a good way to get started ). With the 2 decoders which where not working I swapped them into trains which were working and was able to narrow it to the decoders. I took the decoders out checked them to ensure I was fitting them correctly. the ones I had the issues with were the Bachmann 0.9 Amp 4 Function 8 Pin DCC Decoder featuring RailComPlus I have sent them back to see what the company say. Have installed 3 of these with no problems I think I had problems with that decoder in 2 trains they were stuttering badly at slow speeds, the Hobby DB Netz BR218 Diesel Locomotive VI HO Gauge 57902 and Piko Hobby OBB IC Electric Analogue Starter Set HO Gauge 97947. I swopped out these decoders with the two new ones and they working really well now so (but I installed one of these decoders in to a second hand loco not sure what make sorry (brought from shop in Germany last October) and it works fine) I have 2 old trains which I want to convert and will start to look at soon but I needed to sort these problems out first

I had 2 brand new locos which where dcc ready I fitted chips in to them and they stuttered at slows speeds so on advice form above I got a limo mx600r and a digital plus lokdecoder (which was recommended by the shop I visit in Berlin) and what a difference. I did not think there could be so much difference. So much I have to learn about the model railways even on things I thought were set

Z21 is here and up and running first 5 locs done. still playing around with it and finding out what's what but gosh its so good.

many thanks I actually have both got 2 starter sets one I got in Berlin that was on sale just had to get it

Had my Piko smart control system for around 8 months and have had similar issues waiting for a Roca Z21 to arrive today hope I have better luck with this

will look at that thanks

thanks to all who have relpied this is very helpfull to a total novice

thanks for the info just ordered 2 Lenz Standard+ V2 I will see how I get on again thanks

thanks for the replies

adding to the above does anyone have any suggestions to which 8pin decoders I should be looking at
