    Normally I don't like to cross post a bunch of stuff, but I've run into an interesting electronics problem and due to where I originally posted it I don't think I've reached the best audience.

    Quick back story, I've made a "DCC in a Box" setup, documented on my blog (http://www.realityreduced.com) and there has been some discussion on this site in this thread: DCC in a Box by Reality Reduced - TrainBoard.com

    I've found a problem where Digitrax Boosters and the electronically switched power strip I am using interact badly. Documented in this blog post: http://www.realityreduced.com/Reality_Reduced/Blog/Entries/2010/7/6_Too_Much_Capacitance.html

    An in depth discussion of my proposed solution is taking place over on nscale.net, for whatever reason, the thread just took hold there: DCC in a Box by Reality Reduced

    What we really need is another brain or two with knowledge of MOSFETs and analog power circuits to help verify the design of the solution. If that is you, I would much appreciate if you could comment, on the blog, on the nscale.net thread, or even here. Again, apologies for cross posting, but I think many of the folks I need to reach don't read the DCC forums (they are, after all analog electronics experts [:D]).
