Setting the Keep Alive timer for LOK-Sound decoders

[NYC_George]

I just found this out tonight. I was testing out my reverse loop with a few engines. That is running them through the neutral area then removing them form the track when I noticed the locos with a Lok Sound decoders didn't run as long TCS locos when removed. I thought maybe the installed TCS Keep Alive units were better? I called a friend of mind and told him what I found. He said, the Lok Sound units have a Keep Alive timer controlled by CV 113. I looked it up and sure enough there it was in writing.

The default setting in most files is about .25 seconds. The available range is 0 to 4 seconds.

CV113 = (0 - 255) where 0 is no keep-alive power and 255 is about 4 seconds of keep-alive power.

After reading this I looked at the Lok Sound decoder defaults and there no listing for CV 113?

So I see that Aux6 controls the Power Pack timer setting before I start changing values does anyone know anything about this?
