I'm curious... what's the differences between all these besides current rating and the DCS50 having a built in throttle? How do they differ functionally?
The biggest difference I'm aware of is the DB150 has no readback of CV ability. If it is used with a computer interface and a decoder programming program used, this wouldn't matter. It also doesn't have a programming track output, it programs on the main. Gary
Jon Here is a comparison chart. If you can afford it the better choice is the DCS100. http://www.digitrax.com/forme.php
The other big difference, besides the CV readback, is the number of slots. I believe the DCS100 has 120 while the DB only has something like 22. I don't remember what the Zephyr has but I believe it is also in the 20 range. David
As a whole, it'll be a home layout setup. Will buy a wireless throttle eventually for use at Ntrak outings. (that's a whole 'nother can o worms - DT100R, DT300R, DT400R, or UT4R) I guess I'll just have to borrow a throttle for tomorrow, or see if there's a good price on one at the show. You going to the show?
ridge, I use the DCS-100 as the main command station and the DB-150 (crosswired so it's not a command station) as a booster. usually only at N-trak doings.... at home I use a Zephyr with some of my t-trak modules. nice thing with this setup, I can use my radio throttles on either system. don't be afraid to ask any questions... none of us bite (hard) and there are quite a few Zep users here.
