OH! Here is my beef on the Aristo TE: <br /> <br />I purchased the original TE in 1994. It was a 5 amp unit that hooked to your DC power supply. the radio link would send from the Tx to the Rx that was hooked up to the power supply and regulate the voltage going to the tracks. It worked superbly, although I could only operate two separate blocks of tracks (you needed an additional Rx to operate the 2nd). <br /> <br />That Aristo TE was ingenious back then, because radio control for large scale was NOT CHEAP and I only paid $119 for that setup! Again, it was just another way to control the power to the track via dc current. <br /> <br />One thing I didn't like was the "buttons" as much as I like a "knob" control. But most people don't seem to mind button control. The Aristo TE's are built quite well, they can take a beating. I dropped mine many times, a couple times on rocks. However one day it broke and I sent it back to aristo and they fixed it for free. Great service! <br /> <br />I highly recommend the TE standalones. I have heard some horror stories over the radio-receivers, I must caution you about those though. <br /> <br />Cheers, <br /> <br />Tom M.
