Laurin posted:Brendan - I have given that some thought too, but since it responds to functions I am discounting it for now... I am thinking of trying to set up a double-header with the Sd70 and Es44 just for kicks and see if the Es44 responds!
In my case, the diodes would still "rectify" the AC enough to have the decoder working, but were not up to the draw from the motor. I don't know how common that scenario would be.
