I just read Richard Johnson's post on the "Capacitors - Do we need them thread?".
I have a power bus ring and I see that Richard recommended that this be cut to form a "Tee" and that both ends be terminated with a capacitor and resistor, in series. I took a look at Richard's web site and he recommends the same termination but the value of the capacitor is different.
So I suppose my question is addressed to Richard, should I use a 100 ohm/01mfd (as in the thread) or use a 100 ohm/0.01mfd (as on the web site)?
Is the termination recommended for all protocols, ie LocoNet, XpressNET, etc? I've got a Hornby Elite.
Also (I've just discovered protocols) so can decoders for say LocoNet be used on XpressNET layout?
I'm finding that DCC is quite a voyage of discovery, the more I learn, the more there is to learn.
I'm quite fascinated by it all really.
