My club has a NCE DCC system on our modular layout. The modules have NCE utp panels except for one members. His has Digitrax panels on his since he has Digitrax at home and incorporates the modules into his home layout. We were all under the impression that the utp panels were universal. When we hook the daisy chain up to his panels, the cab bus goes dead. Our run is long and we have a "wall wart" to boost the signal as recommended by NCE. If we by-pass his panels with ones from NCE, everything is fine. <br />Also, the NCE has an arrow pointing to the direction of the command station in relation to the daisy chain. The digitrax has "loconet L" and "loconet R" listed as well as a third port with no label on the rear side. We have plugged the daisy chain in all different ways since it doesnot designate which side to command station. The Digitrax does have the same jack to plug the wall wart in if needed. <br /> We are having an open house this weekend and are finally having the daisy chain all the way around. <br /> Are these interchangeable or not, or have we missed something.
