[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by kbrant</i> <br /><br />Geoff: <br /> <br />Let me try to take you questions in sequence. <br /> <br />First, NMRA conformance. This means that the NMRA has verified that a manufacturers product meets all the S9 and RP9 requriements for interoperatibility. Digatrax is ABSOLUTLY NMRA compliant, any comments to the contrary are marketing bull. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Sorry, Ken. <br /> <br />Digitrax only has a small number of conformance warrants, and most are on products they no longer produce. <br /> <br />Digitrax claims NMRA compatability, and I have not seen any evidence to the contrary, but they are not compliant until they earn the warrant. <br /> <br />An NMRA conformance warrant is not marketing bull. It is an important indicator to the model railroad consumer that the product contained within will interoperate with other warranted products. Many other DCC manufacturers have earned warrants, allong with traditional model railroad manufacturers. I wish more manufacturers and consumers would take the warrants and the products that bear them more seriously. <br /> <br />Oh, and by the way, I spent 5 years testing products for the NMRA, including developing the tests for, and testing DCC decoders. <br /> <br />Doug Menke
