These are the most easy sound decoder installs i have done to date. replace existing light board, solder leds, add the speaker and solder the speaker connection . Total time is about 15 to 20 minutes. Noooo frame milling required to fit every thing in the shell. Programming to fit the correct prime mover, horn selection took about another 4 minutes and then off to the races. i have installed about six of them in Kato E8/9 units. Will probably do several more units as soon as funds become available.
Glad to see that someone has installed some of these. Wondering what you think of the sound quality that these decoders produce? Any chance of posting a video of your units in action?Thanks,Bart
Does anyone have advice on fixing the whoop, or at least get the compressor to come on automatically without manually turning on F12?
I considered maybe the ESU decoder would have a better compressor, but listening to the LokSound 5 sound file on the ESU website the "whoop" sound is very similar to the Tsu2 one, and neither sound quite right compared to standing 5 feet from a P42 at the station.
