Hi,
No, the YD8xxx decoders are one-way.
for having position feedback from your MP’s contacts, we advise our YD6016xx-GND feedback modules.

YD9401 and Digitrax Simplex
Does anyone know if a DR5000 upgraded to a YD9401 will work with Digitrax
Simplex throttles? My DR5000 will, with some settings tweaks.

Hi Alex,
The YD9401 does not / can not / may not implement the closed and proprietary DigiTrax Tether less protocol.
So, sorry, won't work. You'll still u need one of those UR9x

Re: Yamorc and Digitrax
Yep, sorry, it's an ongoing process to refine the manuals. That's one of the most difficult parts of the whole process.

Hi,
Gatewaying nor bridging is provided in the YD9401. Reason: Security and Perfomance related.
It was THE big security hole in DR5000's RM-04 module. We closed that hole on

Re: YD9401 and Digitrax Simplex
Karst,
I think you misunderstood my question. Of course a UR91 is required to
receive the RF signals from a UT4R, DT400R or other Simplex throttle. My
question is whether Digitrax Simplex throttles

Re: YD9401 and Digitrax Simplex
Ah,
In that way :)
Do you mean the Baudrate-Tune option ?
That one I implemented already back in V1.4.2....
And I did it again in the YD7100 Firmware ( ported ==> YD7001 ) because not only UR91

Re: YD9401 and Digitrax Simplex
Karst,
That sounds promising! The Baud Rate setting Ryan had me change on the
DR5000 is LocoNet tab>Settings and I set the Baud Rate to 800, then the
Simplex throttles worked fine. The change was

Re: How Do I Connect Everything Togethe?
Les,
What specific functionality are you looking for? An ESU ECoS with TC Gold
is a pretty substantial setup. You'd still need a network for +SmartHand,

Re: YD9401 and Digitrax Simplex
Karst,
I think that's the same setting as in the Digikeijs software. If that's the

Re: How Do I Connect Everything Togethe?
Hello Les Waters
By saying "I have just upgraded my DR5000 to a YD7001 which was very easy and straightforward.", do you mean that you loaded the YD7001 firmware on the DR5000?
