NCE Wireless Cab Addresses<br />
Posted by Ken G. on May 03, 2002, 10:23am<br />
I spoke to Jim at NCE about a problem with the Pro Cab. If you set<br />
the cab address as 04 or 08, you may experience a sudden runaway<br />
because the base station thinks the speed is set at 125. Jim thinks<br />
this is a bit match problem and is woking on it. If you are experiencing<br />
this problem, set your cabs at some other address and the<br />
problem will go away. Jim also said that it is safe to use address 02<br />
as they are no longer reserving it.<br />

I think I can answer your question. I called LifeLike about bulb<br />
current draw for DCC installation I was doing. What does this<br />
have to do with your question.<br />
HEAT !!! Reduce possible damage to body shell and light bar.<br />
Also a 12v bulb is very bright and will light up the cab and track<br />
under the body unrealistically unless you install light traps/<br />
shields.<br />
By the way, the lifelike bulb/wire connection is very short so that<br />
the truck geat tower will swing without contacting the wires in<br />
an F7.<br />

BBS doesn't display<br />
Posted by Dale Gloer on April 29, 2002, 07:35am<br />
The new BBS design doesn't work for me. I use Netscape 4.77 as<br />
my browser. When I select the message board the title page displays<br />
correctly but when I select a message from the list, I get a blank<br />
page. The page isn't totally blank, the TTX header appears but no<br />
message is displayed. I also have<br />
IE 5.0 (which is what I am using now to write this) and the<br />
messages display correctly using IE. However, I want to use<br />
Netscape.<br />

Dale, I have the same problem with Nescape 4.77. You will have<br />
to use a new version of Nescape to correct this.<br />

Netscape 4.08 and Win 98 running here, everything looks fine. I<br />
like the new web site too.<br />

Don, the old site was much better, sorry to disagree with with<br />
you.<br />

Stan, what is it you don't like about the new layout??? I've been<br />
visiting this site and buying from Tony for a few years now and<br />
his old site was a nightmare if you tried to find anything. Now<br />
you are a click away from just about anything, plus it does<br />
LOOK better compared to the old disorganized mess (sorry<br />
Tony if you read this).<br />

Stan; sorry to hear that. <strong>Web</strong> page design is a very subjective<br />
subject. I like it because the colors have been toned down alot<br />
and things are more organized and consistant from page to page.<br />
I will admit though, it did take me a couple of minutes to find the<br />
link to the message board.<br />

New web page looks good. However i am having the following<br />
problems:<br />
1) messages dated after 5/01/02 do not show on message board<br />
index. I have to press "Start"<br />
2) the site, message board, and messages take a lot longer to load<br />
Any help or suggestions?<br />

I'm not having any of those problems. Some postings in another<br />
thread have indicated that it might be a problem with an older<br />
version of your browser. What are you using?<br />
