Paul, ... I thought this issue has been solved or at least mitigated by a procedure that is called "smart prioritization" by some manufacturers when using...
THAT'S the justification for bad/incomplete/non-existent documentation? We and the MRR (and by extension, DCC manufacturers) community are civilians, so we can...
Your analogy is somewhat mis-applied - I didn't mind the dissertation on what transponding is/does; in fact, the more technical, the better. My very specific...
Does anyone know of an existing list that has decoders from all manufacturers list with size, cost, functions, including discontinued models? If so can you...

Loconet is a 6 wire RJ-12 physical interface, however there are provisions for using a 1/4" phone plug for the LocoNet data only (i.e. for throttles)....
Wayne. One thing to consider is the method of insulation used at the gaps between your reversing section and the main line. With temperature changes, sometimes...
Hi: I have "loconet tester" came with my DCS100 but I never used it. I plugged it into one end of a cable and three green LED's lit up. Does that mean that...
... That is entirely possible. I know on Digitrax systems, the prioritization you mention doesn't happen, or at least it does not happen universally. Other...
Bill, Plug a throttle into the other jack on the DCS100 or DB150 and the other LED should light. All 4 LEDs should light for a good cable, but most times...
I emailed Digitrax to ask if the DS64 would work with a Fulgurex switch machine. They said that since the DS64 will work with the Lemaco machine that it...

Of course, the alternate solution is to use a contact on the switch machine (SPDT, could be on a relay thrown by the machine's contacts or the machine itself)...
A good cable between your DCS100 and the cable tester will light all 4 LEDS. A good cable between a UP5 or similar front panel connector missing Rail Sync will...
The UP1 directions describe wiring a 1/4" phone jack. The UP1 also had a 5-pin din socket as another throttle plug alternate besides a 1/4 phone jack and two...
Unfortunately, the lack of accurate documentation is rampant throughout the electronics industry. The story is that you need to get the product out the door...
Phil, I don't think I have tried testing on the front of a UP3/5 on my layout. Can you try plugging a throttle into the other jack and see if the fourth LED...
Close..... The LT-1 LocoNet tester indicates voltage on pins 1, 3, 4 and 6 (pins 2 and 5 being ground). RailSync is on pins 1 and 6 (and on a throttle jack...

Rick, I agree I will never convert all of my old locos. I kind of backed into a different solution via N-Trak adopting Andersen Power Pole connectors for DCC...
After you set CV8 to avalue of 8, try running the loco on address 03. If it runs OK, set the loco number to whatever you want. Mike Gleaton Charleston Digital...
