Gus, i am not familiar with that board either, my p2k Y3 came without a decoder, but i cant remember what the board looked like, and i dont have it here, its at dads.
are you running that engine as 01, or have you programed it with another # , if you was able to program it with ANY number other then 01, it has a decoder.
MY THOUGHTS, and god knows, i am probably wrong , but it doesnt look like it has a decoder, i am pretty sure that P2K's that HAVE DCC come with QSI, which HAS SOUND, clearly that engine doesnt have sound. (ok, now someone make a liar out of me )
I say you would pull the 8 pin plug chip off that borad, flip it over, install a decoder into the 8 pin plug chip, and you should be good to go , dont worry about the big board, it will become useless once a decoder is installed.
