decoders

Can anyone tell me if decoders have to be matched with the system they are run on. For example will a Digitrax decoder work on a MRC Prodigy system?

I asked that question recently. in short, yes, yes it will. all decoders are made to work with eachother, as are NMRA standards.

Thanks, the is the first time I have asked questions on this site. I like the quick and helpful responses.

Most will work,some may not work well with the newer Bachman PC boards unless you cut a lead on the decoders on the PC board, Check Bachmans website. I have Digitrax & have used Train Control, Digitrax ,Lentz & NCE all work well.

Big mistake… Should have said…cut a lead on the capacitors on the PC board SORRY
