Got this off another forum. New non sound decoders. Rich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The new decoder Soundtraxx gave away at the NMRA Convention is the 852001. This is a 1 amp DCC Motor/lighting Decoder. It is NOT a sound decoder. The features listed are * Compatible with NMRA DCC Standards and RPs * Supports short and long addresses * Supports advanced consisting * 13, 28 and 128 Speed Steps * Standard and User Loadable Speed Tables * Directional and Rule 17 lighting * Hyperlight lighting effects In addition, it also features an NMRA 8 pin plug, Back-EMF motor control and Tsunami-compatible for speed-matching. They also have 5 more new decoders 851001 N-Scale, 1 amp, 2 function, 851002 N-Scale, 1 amp, 2 function, 852002 HO-Scale, 1 amp, 4 function, 852003 HO-Scale, 1 amp, 4 function, 852004 HO-Scale, 1 amp, 4 function,
These will be nice to have when you have a A-B-B-A set up and you don't need to have sound in all units. Must be top secret stuff as I do not see any information on there (Soundtraxx) web page.
