OK, I have DCC running on my little, small, tiny test track. I am running the Radio Chief from Digitrax. Below is what I posted on a DCC forum. If you guys can give me some feedback, it would be great. By the way, it works great via cable...just gotta get the radio to work I have recently purchased the Digitrax Chief Radio Starter set. Wow is it cool. However, I can not seem to get the DT100R to operate in radio mode. I am using 6 wire digital phone cable to connect the UR91 to my DCS200. I have installed a fresh 9 volt battery in the DT100R. When I have the DT100R tethered via the jack on the UR91, everything works great. When I disconnect the DT100R the green LED on the UR91 indicates that it is receiving the radio commands but nothing happens on the layout. The red loconet LED on the DCS200 does nothing. I have read the manual for DCS100 (this is what was packed) and the DT100R. DO I need to enable a function on the DCS200 to use radio control? I am confused and any help would be great. Thanks
Eeek! There may be some one here who is a super electrical person, but I have heard the problem, and advise you contact Digitrax as it is an easy to fix problem but you need alot of back ground knowledge. If I remember correctly it has to do with soemthing in the main booster not liking the commands. Happy Railroading!

The problem is with the radio component. This allows wireless operation of the two trains at via one throttle. My current theory is the cable I used. My only gripe is you would think they would include a ready made loconet cable with the kit. I know I will need custom cables but to test the equipment out it would have been nice. Everything else has been a blast!!!!! I can not say enough good things about Digitrax. Better Documentation might be nice though. And man, do they need a new website. Hey Digitrax wana give me a job?
