And I would be happy with the non "R" version myself, its just that I can get this system for about the same price as the Non Radio version so I thought what the heck. Other than it being wireless I don’t really see much difference between the two. I downloaded the manual and it appears to be the same for both versions of the unit.
Did you go with an NCE power supply or some other brand?
I would love to know if anyone who has the wireless version has ever had any interference with the signal? I guess if it was a major problem you could also tether it. I just like the expandability factor of the NCE system (not that there is anything wrong with the Digitrax systems out there either).
Bought my 1st NCE PHP (wired) in 1998 (OMG that was when??
) and waited til last year to go wireless. Interference has never been an issue either at home or with a club module deployment. We've run 60x100 modular displays in metal buildings before with no ill effects. I can stand in my garage (40 ft from the house) and blow whistles on train running in the basement. I've also been known to hide behind a column in an exhibition hall and steal a train from a club member who became too buzy yapping with a member of the public. Yes, I'm sick, but I take great pleasure in making a train reverse when the "driver" tries to demonstrate a different function. Or I'll turn light functions on and off at will, basicly infuriating the engineer until I finally get caught!
Yes there is a slight delay compared to a wired throttle, but it is an easy adjustment for me as an operator.....
