QUOTE: Originally posted by jfugate I see NCE and EasyDCC as the best wireless systems on the market at the moment. Lenz uses wireless phones or wireless palm PCs, which means you'll need these devices for all your operators. Digitrax wireless requires you to plug in to acquire the locomotive, which NCE and EasyDCC do not require you to do. One of the reasons I want wireless is so I don't have to string a throttle bus all around the layout, so by my way of thinking, Digitrax's wireless option still requires a bus I can plug into being strung around the layout -- which rules it out as "only sorta wireless". Don't know about Digitrax when it comes to upgrades, but yes, when I owned Lenz I had to send it back to the factory for upgrades -- so that means I had to pay postage to get it there and then I had to pay a fee for the upgrade ($35 if I recall). EasyDCC upgrades aren't generally free, but at least the upgrade comes with good instructions and takes about 15 minutes to install.
QUOTE: Originally posted by Rodneys UP 9000 I'm not Joe, but yes you have listed everything you need to get started. Yes the under side of the command station is open, so you can see the electronics, and change the e-prom chip when you need to upgrade. Its a great system to start with what you need, and add as you need to. Rodney

QUOTE: Originally posted by simon1966 Electrolove, you may need to do some investigation about the legal use of the different brands of wireless systems in Sweden. Check with the manufacturers as there are some legal issues relative to the radio bands used etc. What systems are other modellers in Sweden using?
