Thanks. I don't see a DN140 in the DecoderPro set at this point. For reference, can you point me to where on the Digitrax site this is all spelled out? Robin -----Original Message-----

Subject: Re: [jmriusers] decoder id and naming confusions The DN-146A program wise is the same as a DN-140. The DN-142 has transponding and back emf that the 146 and 140 do not have. Program wise the DN-144K, 145K,146A,147A & 148K are like a DN-140. While the DN-149K2, 141K2 and 141E2 are like a DN-142. The -163 decoders are another set of CVs to be programmed. Programming wise the Lenz/Atlas LE-062 and LE-063 are the same.
