Here's the scoop! Digitrax when it first came out had a throttle (which I still own) called the DT100. This throttle was a unit designed for geeks, geeks designed it for geeks. Needless to say, geeks loved it; non-geeks not so much - want to guess which one I was? So many of the non-geeks complained to Digitrax and Digi smelling the revenue of new throttles came out with much simplified throttles. So if you are using the throttles that Digi sells today, your learning curve will be much gentler than in the past. IF you really want to reduce the learning curve - down load decoder pro, its a free software package for programming decoders and its make life much much easier. So get that laptop into your train room. Digitrax is one of the best systems for wireless. I have been a Digitrax user and hanger out in many DCC forums and the 8 throttle problem is greatly exagerated - its the first time I have heard of it here and I have been in dcc forums for about 4 or 5 years now. IF the guys in your area are predominantly Digitrax go with that, I guarantee you eventually you'll need some advice from some one, and it helps big time if they have the same system as you. Never be the first guy in your block with the new DCC system company. In this field, better to be conservative.
