[quote user="rrinker"]>>> snip <<< The sound decoders get even better. The FULL manual for the QSI decoders used in BLI, Atlas, and P2K locos totals somewhere around 500+ pages if you include the DC and DCC manuals. NO ONE is going to include a novel-length book with their equipment, not at the prices they charge.  Like regular decoders, 90% of the people won't even care about every single CV and detailed explanations of it. They want to install the decoder, set an address, and perhaps adjust volume. For those that want the details, the manuals are available.                            --Randy   [/quote] Pardon me for jumping in here, but I do agree with Randy, mostly.  The Tsunami manuals, too, are quite lengthy, although not as massive as the QSIs.  As I have 6 Tsunamis and 7 QSIs, I sure don't want multiple copies of big manuals, especially as they'd be included in the cost of each product. My one minor gripe here, however, is that neither SoundTraxx nor QSI has a printed version available, even at extra cost.  That's an option I'd like in some cases, and I suspect others would, too.I'm reminded of the 2004 PH Pro command station major upgrade by NCE.  The chip and a few pages to insert in the existing manual were available for $5 (which can't even have covered their mailing cost!).  And the full, new version of the manual is available online.  But they also included the option of a nice new printed version for an extra $15, which I bought and was well worth it.
