Actually, this can be corrected. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes), IIRC, of no action by the throttle before the Digitrax system purges it. This can be set to 600 seconds or even turned off completely if you change an OPSW# in the "brain" of the system.
True. NCE is duplex (two-way), and Digitrax is simplex (one-way). The rumor mill is that Digitrax will make a duplex radio, but first they are building up the signal system, etc.
Actually, I haven't had any kind of problems with the DH163 series decoders. One would think that all decoders would program the same as far as CV's go, but I guess not...
Yes, that is always an interesting point to get across to new operators. My favorite part of the DT throttles is that I can control my own helper engines while also controlling the head end power. That is just neat... ;-)
Actually, I've heard that Lenz is the most stable of the "Big 3". Or at least, that's what all the Lenz owners tell me...
