Introduction to Digitrax SFX decoders

[Hoople]

David,

Thanks for some very useful information…do any of the Digitrax decoders you mentioned limit the voltage going to the headlights? It seems I continue to explode light bulbs that are 1.5V when I install decoders…(NCE). Following the instructions from Walthers doesn’t help as there’s no information regarding what voltage bulbs are used in the locos. Only after the bulb goes pop do I know that I should have used a resistor…[D)]

Try Digitrax 165LO if you are talking about a Proto 2000 loco. Specifically built with resistors built in just for Proto 2000 diesels.

David,

I’ve been using the PR2 to modify and update project .spj files and download them to the decoder. Can you tell me how to get the .sdf file and what to use to edit it? I see that DecoderPro has an sdf edit function but I haven’t found the file to edit.

Thanks.

Don
