We just finished up a fair sized "train show", where we ran our stuff powered by Digitrax and most of time we were in good shape. Because Digitrax systems are prevalent we had the problem of someone else having our 'system' address. After we changed it from #3 to #5 things settled down. Digitrax systems can be set from 0--7. Nobody has mentioned what happens when you have 8 or more setups within radio contact.
Question, what do the other systems do? I have heard the NCE can interfere with Digitrax also. When it comes to choice of systems, everybody in our club using DCC has digitrax systems. for 7 systems total. So I now think the 'battle' might be mostly with the sound decoders with Soundtraxx, ESU, QSI and MRC being the most used. The Digitrax sound unit, although fairly inexpensive, doesn't seem to have many followers yet. Again at the show I saw mostly purple colored Soundtraxx units for sale. I do have issues with a couple of my units at this time but really haven't nailed down the issues.
