What are my auto-reversing options for the Zephyr?
Posted by jkroft on Monday, June 2, 2008 12:54 PM
I originally wanted 2 PSrevs from Tony's but now they aren't available.  The PSX is a little more expensive and has options I don't need.  The Onguard won't run with a Zephyr.  I have two reverse loops...  What options do I have with the Zephyr?

I've been very happy with my PSREV.  On that basis, I'd still recommend the PSX.  The high-speed, solid state circuitry is much better than the relay-based switching that some of the lower-priced units employ.

You might check Ebay to see if you can get a Digitrax DB150 at a good price.  You can use the DB150 to power your return loops as reversing sections from the main line.

Digitrax PM-42, Digitrax AR-1, Lenz LK100, or use  manual toggle switches.

You mean the AD520 from the company who's decoders go POP all the time ...
