I had sent for product literature on the PSI Dynatrol system in the early 1990s. I felt that command control was the logical next step in control systems for model railroads. I knew that the most cost was going to be in the receivers for the locos (decoders). When I saw how reasonably priced decoders had become for DCC systems I become much more interested. I finally purchased a Digitrax Zephyr. I was attracted to Digitrax, first because of name recognition. I had been paying attention to Digitrax since DCC first came on the market as they were a market leader. I hadn't taken the plunge into DCC, because the systems were still sorta pricey. When the Zephyr came out, I decided to move forward. I have a small 14' X 8' one man operation layout and the Zephyr will handle my needs very well. So far I have 10-12 locos with decoders installed and need to install a few more and all my locos will be converted. In most of the locos I have converted I have used Digitrax's DH123D decoders. This is simply a decoder with a 7 inch long wiring harness. I have had no problems installing decoders and have done both steam and diesel. I have found Digitrax's operation manuals to be detailed, intuitive and easy to read. After having used the manual to change a couple of loco's addresses, I now do so without the manuals. My opinion is the Digitrax Zephyr is as good a unit as I need and I am very happy with it! I have had to send the unit back to Digitrax due to stupidity on my part and their service is very good.
