    After 8 years, I've started connecting track and stretching the legs on my Digitrax System. I have 2 DT400Rs. I put fresh batteries in them. After I shut it down, I hit "Power", Yes, "Power" and it shuts down the system. However, when I turn-off the power pack and DC100, the throttle still shows as being active instead of going to "Idle". When I pull the battery out, it goes off, put the battery back in, and it goes to idle. Never had this problem.

    ??? Thoughts ???

    That is normal. The throttle doesn't know the system is turned off. DT400R is simplex so it just sends to the UR91 when unplugged. As long as the battery is still in and good, it will continue to operate. nothing will be received because the system is off. If the throttle is plugged in when the system is shut off it should go to "IDLE"

    Thanks for the reply. I've had these in storage for 8 years and finally getting them "exercised". I have 2 DT400R's, a UT4R and UT4D. I actually sent one DT400R to Digitrax today for the DT402D conversion. Thanks again for the reply.
