I got my Digitrax Chief Radio set in 1999 and I've been very satisfied with it. I agree that someone looking at DCC should try several systems before deciding on one. I did not, but the way it worked amazed me. Another thing to remember is you can use other brands for decoders, Pc interface, and sgnals. I like the NCE decoders and have as many of them installed as digitrax. I hear alot of people complaining about the high price. There is an initial high investment, but you can install decoders in just a few locomotives and wire in a plug on the rest and share decoders. Also, you can install one decoder in a loco consist that is going to be permantly coupled (like the first FT units). Digitrax could improve their instruction manuals, that I think is their biggest weakness.
