Not as part of this venue. You can do a search under the forums if you're looking for just DCC or electrical stuff. Otherwise, this forum covers DCC and electronics pretty well.

You'll find a forum for almost every mfg on YAHOO Groups.

Be warned, it is a quirky format with plenty of ads i.e. the ads are interspersed between the posts. Following a thread is a bit tedious as each message is being shown in a new window.

No speed reading and scrolling down like in a Snitz or phpBB forum.

But there is lots of good info. Reading the various DCC fora helps you get an appreciation for what the shortcomings of certain systems are.

At least I believe that the answers to some of the questions should be in the first ten pages of a product manual, OTOH the expression "RTFM" probably applies, too.
