That's the advantage of the NMRA DCC Standards and Recommended Practices -- practically every brand of decoder is compatible with every brand of DCC system as far as the basic functions are concerned.

Thank you. Now when I put this in a Life-Like Proto E-7 loco, will I need to isolate the brushes? On my Gp-9 I had to do this with a digitrax decoder
