No they’re not, but, I’ve had three sound decoders sitting on the shelf - there are times when other matters slow down the progress on several fronts - and when the time came to install and use we (Art and I) discovered a snag. In this case it was a matter of running the decoder for about ten minutes and it then refusing accepting commands i.e. no control at all. Reporting the serial numbers of the decoders in question to ZIMO had them reply “Please return for repairs and updates.”
The items are back with all the newest features e.g. larger sound memory and all the other updates. A big thank you to Art Lüscher and the ZIMO crew for prompt repairs and standing behind their product even when the product sat on the shelf in my workshop for several years.
Why go with the rest, when you can have the best?!
