    Atlas decoder won't change address.

    Hi, Details on SPROG are: http://www.bbmgroup.com/sprog/shop.html As no local help is available I would recommend sending the loco to one of the dealers listed on the SPROG site (link above) and see if they can help. Hope you can get it resolved. Regards, Vik.

    Atlas decoder won't change address.

    I have found using SPROG 3 and JMRI I can reset all types of decoders. I would try that and see if it works, you can always take it to a friend/club who may have SPROG & JMRI. Regards, Vik.
