<p>[quote user="rrinker"]It's not quite as simple as it seems to generate a solid DCC signal on the rails. It's more than just switching the output of a transformer. The drive circuit of a typical DCC booster is an H bridge using low resistance MOSFETs in an H brodge configuration, switching a split DC power supply (+ and - relative to a common) rail to rail, or nearly so. Care must be taken in the amplifier design and any additional filtering to make sure the square waves are as squared off as possible (very fast rise and fall times) and that there isn't any excessive ringing of the signal.[/quote]</p> <p>I will definatly do some research on those possible problems. Thanks!</p> <p style="padding-left:30px;">--Lax</p> <p style="padding-left:30px;"> </p> <p>PS. I MEANT $700 HYPERBOLICALLY!</p> <p>almost half of the posts say it will cost less than <a href="http://www.digitrax.com/products/starter-sets/scfxd8/">this</a></p>
