There should be 2 sounds for an engine start on an MF-01 multi function unit connected to the DMD T-03 (Tiger, King Tiger, and Panther configuration).The first sound is for an inertia start. That's where the crew would hand crank the engine using the big hand crank. The second sound is an electric starter cranking the tank.

That said, I can simulate remote electric starts using the DX9 and a HK DSM2 or DSMX rx by placing a Dimension Engineering Picoswitch in series with the DMD rudder lead's signal wire (the white one) between the DMD and rx to cut the power (Picoswitch runs on an extra channel). It works pretty good for the electric start sound.

I believe you can simulate the inertia start only by turning the DMD switch off. I am not certain on that though.

I suggest identifying what type of start you wish to simulate, and then consulting the DMD manual that came with your tank (King Tiger comes with the little DMD pamphlet, whereas the Tiger manual contains everything).
