Can you clarify what you mean by "new function"? Back EMF, FX lighting, silent running, and advanced effects are available on most manufacturer's decoders at this point.
They are for control of lighting, etc and not for controlling locomotives. The Lenz model is LF100XF. BTW, "function" is what the mfr's are calling them. Mark
The main thing the Digitrax units are is transponders. The function it has is just an add on. If you don't use Digitrax and you don't need transponding then I think it is pretty expensive just to turn a light on and off. You could buy a standard Digitrax non-transponding DH-121 decoder for about the same price and be able to do a lot more with it.
Just went to the Digitrax site to read up on their new decoder. http://www.digitrax.com/transpond.htm#TL1 Anyway, no I have not tried one of these yet, but it appears it can be used for lighting in cars or in stationary objects. BTW, the reason your original question remained unanswered is that we didn't know quite what the decoder was, so how do we know what you are really asking and if we had used it or not? We were just trying to find out some more info, that was all. Try not to be too arrogant about it (it is quite obvious that nobody answered your question), maybe a quick explanation or a link to the Digitrax site (like I posted) might have helped.
