Bill, there seems to be a bit missing from the answers to your first question. The PR3 is a similar device to the LocoBuffer. It provides an interface from...
12/31/09 Most Duplex problems today were operator error, battery failure (on purpose), or the "UP-5 to IDLE" problem. Decided to just run the battery testing...
Upon further review of my notes this turned out to be false. We still had throttle going to IDLE but it appears, at this time, the Throttle Lockup problem...
... Actually there are more differences between a DCS100 and DB150 than already noted. DCS100 has a separate "current limited" programming output. DB150 has no...
... I should have added that as a stand alone programmer, PR3 will read back CV values. It won't do it when acting as an interface to a DB150. Martin Myers...
Michael, Your surge protector limits input power on the transformer side of the power supplies that are plugged into your 110 AC. It does not directly protect...

I am expanding my layout. I have four districs running on one PM42 and are working fine. I am adding a two wyes and a turntable. Starting with another PM42...
Why are you moving? New job? Where is Ubuntu? Might it be in Africa? Good luck with your move and keep in touch. Sorry, couldn't resist :-) Happy New Year, ...
John: The section for the PM42 will be set to be a reverser, for short circuit protection that section should be connected to a breaker on another PM42. That's...

Howdy I've been told that a couple tracks next to each other would help when doing this task. I visited a club and their test tracks were a couple feet long...

Howdy Our club is in the midst of a large dcc installation. While reading about everyones problems, we are starting to wonder what we got ourselves into. I...
Larry, You must remember that groups like this are help forums. You hear the bad but seldom do people post the good. That is why it looks worse then it is. ...
Larry: I have been running my NYO&W HO layout for over 10 years using Digitrax products. We have 6-8 operating sessions per year, with about 12 operators each...

Peter Yes, I understand the nature of the list. As a newbie, it just seems like an undaunting task to enter into. Larry Sent from my Verizon Wireless...
To All, Here is a note on the upbeat. I've had my Super Chief Radio system for 5 years now. No problems other than user error. ;P I wouldn't ever go back...
The anti static mats sounds like a good idea. Thanks Mike ... From: jamesablackiii To: Digitrax@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, January 01, 2010 5:36 AM ...
Thanks David for the info its better to ask before you have a melt down. Still have alot of work to do including track detection and signaling so I'll be back...
OK Larry, Our club, Baltimore Area NTRAK has a 50 x 65 foot layout set up at the B & O Railroad Museum in Baltimore as a part of their annual Festival of...
Hi Larry: One of the benefits of the Digitrax system is that it allows you to start with the basics and then build on that. Our club has converted from DC...
Perhaps not the only way, but the only Digitrax command stations with readback capability are the DCS100 and DCS200. A computer doesn't change this, because...
Oops ... forgot the DCS50 Zephyr. And as others have pointed out, the PR3 (not a true "command station") can also read back when used with a computer....
I'd appreciate suggestions as to the best source for the Powerex batteries and chargers. Sounds like this is the best way to go for the DT400/2 throttles (my...
PT, don't forget the DCS50 that comes with the Zephyr! Mike ... __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4735...
Larry: I have now had Digitrax for about 7 years, having converted from the old CTC32 command control. I have found it to be a very reliable system, so long as...
I have used Digitrax for years, several in our round robin club have had ut for years, and our modular group has used it for years. Â We rarely have any...
I think that most of the Digitrax (DCC generally) problems come from trying to to do everything at once. Â Do one thing, get it working properly and then add...
