I am setup for transponding via BDL168. Not worth the hassle.
There is only one commercially available application that uses Transponding and that is Soundtraxx Surroundtraxx. But many if not most, are using the Surroundtraxx system without Transponding, so go figure.
There is no commercial application available that uses Railcom to my knowledge. Any other use of Transponding or Railcom requires you play with the likes of JMRI and scripting.
My Transponding setup is just too temperamental for any use and I have worked with Digitrax directly to try and sort out the issues without succes.
Only Digitrax decoders support Transponding. NO other decoder manufacturer picked up on it. I used SDN144 for transponding and that was nothing but problems. I had bettre luck with Transponding using the single function only Digitrax decoders (TL1). But gets expensive, as I was using Soundtrax Tsunami and Digitrax LT1 combo. I wanted to use the SDN144 to bring the cost down.
Your experience may be different.
I gave up on it.
