Decoders that use DCC can be BEMF equipped. You are correct if you mean that the BEMF feature is contained in the decoder, not the command system. It is all DCC, you won't find BEMF on straight DC. <br /> <br />Remember that DCC systems have several components, There is the command station and throttle system (Lenz, NCE, CVP, Easy DCC,Digitrax, etc) and these send signals and power to the track. Then there is the decoder. It is inside the locomotive . it receives the signals from the command station and runs the loco. Different brands of decoders will work with different brands of control stations thanks to the DCC standards established by the NMRA. Different decoders offer a variety of features such as BEMF, sound, dither, lighting effects etc. Google Loys Toys and Tony's Train exchange for online primers about DCC.
