There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
For this I give it 5 stars. I have been using a slightly less featured MRC Prodigy Express.
Because I am in the process of converting numerous older DC locomotives to DCC,
the Read feature is quite nice. In the future, I may connect to a JMRI interface.
The reason that I gave it 4 stars for "Easy to use" is that the new product required
two minor "fixes",
possibly due to hurried quality control in order to speed production:
1. The potentiometer was tilted on the handset, but easy to bend back into position.
2. The AC cord socket that plugs into the power block had insulation covering much
of one of the two female sides, making it impossible to connect.
This was easily fixed with a pin vise and appropriate bits.
For someone unable to handle these minor adjustments, this may be a problem.
I assume that any Model Railroader who needs this product
would be able to handle these issues.
