Bill, I have ten QSI revolutions and you are mistaken about the NCE system not being able to program the indexed CVs of the Revolution, I do it all the time. The revolution without the programmer is a little more work to program then other decoders but you get hundreds of times more programming options using the indexed CVs. I like both the QSI and Soundtraxx decoders but I have a hard time accepting the rigidity of the Tsunami, Soundtraxx need to bring out a decoder that allows downloading of sound files and they also need to become more willing to implement user suggestions. The fact that the Tsunami is not users loadable is a problem that keeps Soundtraxx from implementing changes quickly, Soundtraxx has to decide if they are going to stay in the decoder business or move totally into their Surround Traxx product.
Merry Christmas.

I just used 1 in the RSD5 last week. I even use them in steam locos. At ***ALL*** times the speaker is pointing upward through the smokestack or an open grill of some sort. I have installed 1 QSI unit so far. I found it to be unnecessarily complex when compared to the Tsunami. Further, you are pretty much required to get their programmer box. Since they chopped a CV up into **TEN** CVs, NCE cannot program much of it since there is not a "DOT" for programming CVs like 151.1 etc Their biggest attraction for me would be that they are rated for a real 2 amps while still being a usable size for S Scale. I installed a 4 amp LokSound unit that was the size of Texas - NEVER again! But the 2 amp rating has not converted me yet. I will stick with Tsunamis for now. The H10-44 is starting to show up assembled. It might get me inspired as well...
