UPDATE remote address went missing.

maybe the address can't be found I would try deleting another address and then readded consist and try again but a different number! if you can't get it to work reset your remote and readded all engines. you know you can save the remote addresses in your computer reset remote and then install save address back from the computer to remote thru tiu !  also, if you have dcs companion that Barry wrote it will walk you thru the whole process.

thanks allen, I think a remote back up and reset is in order. I have never seen this problem before. an address slot number just go missing. I wonder how that happened anyway?

I have the latest rev L tiu and remote. software is 6.1 and both remote and tiu are up to date. so that should not be the issue here.

I got out my labtop tonight and finnaly got my dcs loader program working. I backed up my remote data to the pc.

then just to be safe I got out a spare dcs remote I havent used in a while. installed batteries and went to the settings menu. reset remote/ wiped it clean of previous data and then I transferred the newly  loaded handheld data I just transferred to my pc onto this remote.

It took all my data fine all engines and lashups are there just like the other remote I copied the info from.

still no address 95 on the list. guess its gone forever. what should I try next? any suggestions.

If your backing up the remote with the missing address and reinstalling it your not solving the the problem just putting back in the bad data. You will need to reset the the remote and re-add the engines as a lashup at address 95 and see if it works. If does just readd all your engine once done backup that data.

As Shawn stated you must reset the remote back to factory setting to correct the scrambled remote then reinstall your addresses from computer!

If you're REALLY good, you can edit the remote data and fix the entry.   It's all in hex, perhaps someone has decoded this mess.

thanks guys. guess I will just leave it alone. its not worth the trouble just for one address slot.

what you stated shawn was what I was afraid of happening. alan is correct also. the only problem is if I do a factory reset on the remote. then in order to get back the one address. I must add all my engines again one at a time. thats over 50 engines. plus every engines soft keys will have to be rearranged to the way I like them. not worth the trouble for one address IMO.

in the future I will back up my remote more often and keep it current in my pc. my last saved update was about 30 engines ago or around there. I just was not expecting this'll sort of gremlin to ever pop up. oh well. thats dcs for ya. thanks guys for all the info.
