On LGB forum it was mentioned that the LGB MTS system is SLOW, due to a slow bus 2.4khz. That sounds like commands run through a 2400 baud modem to me. Now of course cable modems advertise up to 120,000 baud downloads (I wish) but they are certainly light speed faster in comparison to the original 2400 baud modems and nobody is looking to go back to those slow old days.
So, is my analogy correct and there is a lot of “latency” in the MTS system…put a command in and wait seemingly forever for the train to react? if so, which DCC systems out there (some mentioned as being 54 times faster) are better than MTS, but, here’s the catch, still send signals that the LGB MTS decoders can understand and execute?
