Thank you guys.
Randy I have heard about the grounding issue on another forum with a digitrax system and zonemaster.
I really want to know if they will work reliably. The other issue I have with them is the power supply has to come from CVP. The 7 amps total output should be plenty for our yard district.

I started with nothing and still have most of it left!
There was just a posting about this on the Model Railroad Hobbyist forums. The poster had problems using the ZoneMasters with an NCE system when the trains crossed from a section powered by the NCE booster to one powered by a ZoneMaster. It worked fine if all districts were powered by ZoneMasters with the NCE functioning as command station only. It would seem the lack of a proper common ground reference between the ZoneMaster and the NCE is the culprit. Maybe there will be this problem with Lenz, maybe not.

Well, I can't say how they work with the Lenz system...but my Zone Master Dual works great with my CVP command station. The auto-reverse is very quick. Just remember the total output is 7 amps...not 7 amps for each circuit.

Hi guys.
The club is making the switch to DCC on the permanent HO layout. We have been using Lenz DCC on the portable modules for years. We already have a command station and 1 booster allocated and need 3 more boosters. I have been researching boosters and reverse's. The CVP zone master dual has a built in auto reverse in it. Do they work well with Lenz systems and are they reliable? CVP makes a quality product. We have the wireless throttles for Lenz on our modular layout that works really good. I am just not sure of the boosters.
Thanks.
BTW Happy dads day for all you dads out there.
