Dear Jim, The problem is the CVs are not the same for all decoders. If you want to change the braking rate of the Tsunami, CV61 is what you change, but for a Lenz Gold decoder, CV61 is a lighting effect mapping function. If both decoders are wired at the same time, I believe both will be changed. We used two decoders for years in our F units and switchers (Lenz gold and Soundtraxx DSX) and had to program each by alone and then wire together. And if we want to adjust the CVs, we had to disconnect one lead of the other decoder. Although Bill Clark had us program the 2 digit address with different addresses for each, I was never able to figure out how to change the CVs of just one of them. Best, Don
