" LC+ requires a constant18 volts applied to the track. Does the DCS Explorer do that or does the DCS Explorer vary the voltage to the track?"

(1) The DCS Explorer does not vary the voltage to the track, if I recall correctly. Designed strictly for DCS operation in command mode.

(2) LC+ when set in LC mode (command) does not require 18 volts. Anything between 8 and 18 should work fine in most instances. Something along the lines of 12-14 should be fine for most situations. 18V is good too. This is true of most command locos that have been produced with TMCC, PS2 and PS3, Legacy as far as I've seen.

Bottom line the explorer and lion chief plus should be compatible in command mode, although the The power limitation has to be considered.
