Digitrax Zephyr (was Re: System Intereface Requirements)
I've heard that it has a Chief-style programming track which can both read and write. That would be a really good alternative to the PR1, esp. if they can hit their price point. I'll be interesting

Thanks for catching that! I've fixed the originals.

or similar.

Bob,
What about by Manufacturer, Scale, Model
Example:

Re: Change the way we present decoder names?
'Family' seems like a rather confusing category. Dividing the list by
manufacturer is a good idea. In other words, I agree with Robin.

I think I suggested a similar approach that was simpler. The dropdown

each manufacturer that list the models. If

I don't have any real ideas about how to better identify decoders. I agree it's a mess, and will be happy to implement whatever you guys think is best.

Re: decoder id and naming confusions
Ok, so how should the decoder name appear in the list when multiple decoders
have the same CV07 value?
My suggestion is that if the models have the same features, i.e. DN140,

decoder sort order (was decoder id and naming confusions)
Jon,
You are correct, I missed the DN140 in the decoder list. This was certainly
operator error on my part, but that aside the sort order of the decoder list
is another thing I've been meaning to

Michael,
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?

Re: 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
