CV#s 105 and 106 are reserved for user information.
[edit] Two bytes of user information
Each of these CVs can hold a value of 0 through 255 (decimal), and can be used to identify anything the user would like to keep track of. These CVs don't control anything on the decoder.
[edit] Ideas
The following is a list of ideas on the use of the "user information" fields.
[edit] For Clubs
Club members can use this to keep track of which loco belongs to who.
For example, a club can keep a roster of club members. Each member is assigned a different number from 1 through 255. Each club member programs his/her number into the specified CV. Now, anytime there is a question about who a loco belongs to, all that needs to be done is read the value in that CV. This, however, should not be used as an absolute indicator of ownership.
