Probably because no one knew of the problem before *some* (not all) decoders blew. BOTH systems meet DCC standards (because of the "range" of values allowed), so WHO is at fault? Some on the Atlas Forum say that SOUNTRAXX is at fault, not ATLAS! Afterall, it isn't Atlas decoders (or anyone else's other than SOUNDTRAXX) that have this power/heat problem. And even SOUNDTRAXX states there is only damage after "prolonged" use of the sound system (their word), and were among the first to suggest the diode solution. Frankly, I think it is easier to change the power supply than the chip, but should Atlas foot the bill for a Soundtraxx chip problem?
