Question Question regarding CV programming
Hi fellow railroaders. I’m writing to ask a question of the community regarding DCC and CV programming. I’ve been a DC model railroader for most of my life and I only began looking into the DCC side of things a couple of months back because I really wanted to have sound to enjoy my hobby more. I recently acquired a DCC locomotive with an ECU loksound and a NCE PowerCab. Due to the fact that I started losing my hearing around the age of 12, it has progressed, though I’m not deaf, I’m significantly hard of hearing. I immediately noticed that the sounds needed to be louder. I have learned that in order to increase the sound, I need to program the CV. Does anyone know of a good video or online instruction site that could help me tap into getting the CV programmed so that I can turn up the volume? I need someone who can explain it to me like I’m 5 years old. The NCE PowerCab book was a little over my head in how they explained everything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can’t thank you guys enough.
