Locobuffer or Digitrax PR 3?

[winnetou]

Hello,my system is Digitrax,and I have an older MS 100 PC-interface,but this is not compatible with JMRI and DecoderPro!

So I will use this programms,but my question is: Can I use the PR 3 from Digitrax to use it?

[jalajoie]

Yes you can, installing the PR3 on Win7 and Win8 is not always an easy task

I have a computer/PR3/PTB100 Booster as a standalone setup.I can program both Tsunami and Paragon 2 decoders easy.However,I understand it won't program MTH decoders...don't have any so can't confirm.

I have the pr-3 BUT could NOT get it to work with decoder pro/java/win 8 ......works fine with vista  .. a bit touchy with win 7 ,as far as start up sequince,but works fine... but win 8 NO GO

whats your computor system?

 There's very little TO program in MTH locos, but my PR3 in standalone mode programmed mine. It also programmed QSI and Tsunami decoders.

 If you're not going to use the PR3 for standalone programming mode, just get the Locobuffer. The driver is registered and signed so there are fewer problems installing it.

Hi,Jerry ,my notebook  is 8 years old and the system is Windows XP. I will only use them for the model railroad.

the pr3 is a better buy, even with the needed wallwart power supply, and does so much more than the locobuffer

I have a PR3 with a 7 year old laptop running WinXP. No issues at all.
