1) If a Zephyr is to be used as a throttle and a DB150 or DCS100 is used as the command station, can the Zephyr still read back CV's through a programming track, or do you lose that function when you program it to be a throttle and not the command station? I have read the Zephyr manual and I am not satisified that I understand it. I want to defer the cost of the DT300 or DT400 if possible. I have two UT4's in addition to the Zehpyr. <br /> <br />2) Also do you need a DT300 or DT400 in addition to the Zephyr throttle if a DB150 or DCS100 is the command station, or can you do all the programming on the Zehpyr (consisting, programming decoders etc)? I want to defer the cost of the DT300 or DT400 if possible. I have two UT4's in addition to the Zehpyr. <br /> <br />3) When the Zephyr is used as a throttle, it is also a booster correct? I want to use it for a power district. <br /> <br />4) Is it safe to use the 8amp booster for HO? I am using Power districts and sub busses with tail light bulbs for short protection. <br /> <br />Ok I know that was more than two, but I couldn't help myself. <br /> <br />Thanks, <br /> <br />Mike in Tulsa <br />BNSF Cherokee Sub <br /> <br />
