The UT4, by design, cannot operate stationary decoders of any type.

When it was being developed, Digitrax solicited lots of user input. You can go back on the Digitrax Yahoo! group for example, and find literally hundreds of posts debating what folks did and didn't want in a Utility Throttle, or UT.

The consensus was that folks wanted a simple throttle for nothing more than running a loco, and the UT4 is the result. No programming, and no stationary decoder ability.
