It may become necessary to use a wired buss, but we are hoping not to have to go that route if possible. There will be a place to plug in for programming CV's if necessary.<BR/><BR/>Lenz would be a good choice (despite my Digitrax preference) as the throttle buss is the most "open-source" of all the choices. <BR/><BR/>Ultimately it will be a majority-rules decision based on whichever throttle is preferred.bobcatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442234306086228773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461120.post-1117130469396432702005-05-26T14:01:00.000-04:002005-05-26T14:01:00.000-04:00Hi, Chris. A couple of comments...The Atlas thrott...Hi, Chris. A couple of comments...<BR/><BR/>The Atlas throttle feels just like a Lenz knob-throttle (like the LH90). In fact, it's built by Lenz. Atlas has the drawback of only using short addressing, and being limited in the functions it will address. I can also have a maximum of 6 operators - one "base station" and 5 walk-around.<BR/><BR/>Lenz/Atlas wireless is accomplished via either the CVP hand-held system, of by using a Lenz device to allow a standard cordless telephone to act as a throttle. This generally works well, and can be very cost effective. Of course, it's a pushbutton throttle.<BR/><BR/>The nice thing is that all of the major DCC systems except EasyDCC can be made to use the same physical throttle bus wiring. BTW, I'd recommend having the ability to use wired-walkaround throttles.Gerenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041578068346669574noreply@blogger.com
