<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Has anyone had a look at the new lenz 3.6 software upgrade, looking at the features it looks like a good upgrade maybe jumped a head on nce. anyone got it done?
I have had a LZV100 and a LH100 upgraded to 3.6 and certainly believe it to be worth it.
I am waiting for two LH90 upgrades to come back.
The upgrade gives
Access to 28 functions which can all be set to continuous or momentary operation.
An expanded stack of up to 12 loco addresses can now be stored in LH100. (256 addresses can still be stored in command station)
Choice of function refresh
Now program CVs from 1-1024 on program track.
Programing on main (POM) has been made easier and faster.
Programing on service (programing) track is also easier and faster.
AS far as being ahead of NCE, or any others, probably not but I do believe Lenz is now up there with them.
Easier than NCE? that is a matter of opinion. I always found Lenz to be easy.
When working for a large hobby shop I had to become familiar mainly with Lenz, NCE, Digitrax.
I found Lenz to be the easiest ( 12 yrs op with Lenz at the time probably helped) Digitrax the hardest and I found NCE to be somewhere in the middle. I did own a Power Cab and found it to be quite difficult.
I am not saying one system is better than the other. This is my opinion only.
The most intuitive and easiest system I have found to use is the Ecos.
Happy DCCing
