What problems are you having witht he radio? Even in public shows, our club radio system works quite reliably, and I know they never updated anything to the newer firmware which would make it even better. Heck until the last show they had the Loconet ID on the default, but another club set up next to us and already were using it, so they FINALLY had to change it off the default (you shoud ALWAYS change things off the default as the first step - be it the radio ID or a board ID on something like a DS64). There haven't been reports of any serious radio issues since the last firmware update, a few that were having issues have reported them now solved. And that was still only a few out of all the users, for most people it works fine, just plug it in and go.

wjstix I have to admit I've been very disappointed with the Digitrax radio-throttle system. It seems to work worse then their infra-red did. Otherwise I'm happy with Digitrax, but if I were doing it over would probaby try a different system to see how their radio control worked.

I've made my decision. I want to thank everyone for their comments and recommendations. I've decided to go with Digitrax. While I liked the ease of use of NCE, I feel that LocoNet was the tie breaker. I'm looking forward to the learning experience that goes with Digitrax.
Thanks to everyone for their help.

I made mine too, and went with NCE. If I had the money I'd have chosen Digitrax, and I'm sure I'd have been happy with that.
If you haven't already seen it, check out this video of basic operation of both Digitrax and NCE.
