Yes, the SPROG is actually a basic DCC packet generator with a booster and a CV programmer. To keep cost and bulk low it was designed so much of the code and user interfaces (command station code, throttles, screens etc.) normally in a DCC system resides in JMRI and uses JMRI throttles, etc.

Dave, thanks for that clarification. I DO use the SPROG3 but always just considered it a type of interface. Didn't realize it was actually a DCC Emulator device. Go figure. I prefer the SPROG3 because it is simple to use with DecoderPro and I know if my locos work there, then they will work on the layout.
Thanks again for clearing this up for me. I'm just thankful that there is a great program like DecoderPro available.
