rrinker Hmm, where did you get schematics for Digitrax?
It was a long time ago (maybe seven or eight years) I just found one on the internet and the other (I can't remember which one) I got of one of the Yahoo groups when I asked.
I just now Googled Digitrax Schematic and all sorts of stuff came up in images. But alas I don't know what I am looking at so it may not be what you are wanting.

rrinkerAnything that old should have been replaced as a mattr of course - if it doesn't support Ops Mode it probably doesn't have other nice things like silent running...
It doesn't have to be old to not support Ops mode programming, the current non-sound Bachmann decoders don't (at least the N-scale ones don't). I always replace the Bachmann decoders, but not everyone does, plus I don't always do it immediately and I certainly want to be able to program them until I get a chance to replace them.
That's because they aren't 'new' decoders, they are ancient junky Lenz decoders that also don't have silent running - just like I said.

I just browsed the first page of google images that come up for Digitrax Schematics, closest thing to a schematic is for accessories like the Locobuffer, and for attaching different types of signals to the SE8C. Other 'schematics are a layout of devices, like how you connect multiple boosters and throttles. If THAT was the basis for saying NCE was 'better' because it has a seperate bus to connect the command station to boosters, independent of the throttle bus, then there is definitely a lack of understanding for the differences between a polled network and a peer fo peer CDMA network.

The design may be old, but the decoders are certainly new.
