Here's the version from RR-CirKits:

The LNRP definitely does do more than just isolate the railsync, which is why it costs more

Thanks
I've also had response on the digitrax group that the loconet isn't boosted reconditioned, or isolated without the LNRP.
Your solution is interesting and something to consider if the LNRP wasn't available.

It doesn't do anything with Loconet, it only looks at Railsync.
If you're looking for ways to break things out, there's apicture on the RR-CirKits web site as well as one somewhere in the files section of the Digitrax group on Yahoo showing how to make a 'throttle network' by cutting off the Railsync wires goign in to it and applying a fixed 12-14V AC source to the Railsync wires going to the throttle jacks. ONLY throttles can be plugged in to this, anythign that needs Railsync for commands or operation will not work since all youhave is a steady AC voltage, not a signal. IE< no boosters on that segment, no BDL-168's, and probably no SE8C's either. KISS: throttle only, nothing but throttles. Seems overkill to me but it can be a sort of poor man's LNRP, since the only place things get rregualrly plugged in and out of are the throttle jacks, this keeps a broken or jammed in plug from shorting Railsync and killing all the boosters. Since it's just thin phone wire, you still need additional power, particualrly on long runs, and you do NOT want to feed, say, a 5 amp power suppyl into this - a low power one, 1 amp or less, with a fuse in case the aformentioned broken or bent pin happens in one of the jacks and shorts things.
Hello All When a DB150 is configured as a booster does it also boost and condition the loconet signal? Thanks
