What does "analogue compatible" means for a DCC decoder?
"Analogue compatible" means the decoder is able to run on a traditional analogue layout that is not DCC.
This is useful if you have two layouts, one being DCC and one being analogue: the same engine can be used with no modification on both layouts.
It can also be useful if you use DCC but plan to sell your engine to someone who is still using analogue: they will not have to remove the chip and fit a blanking plate.
Please note on some decoders, the analogue function may need to be enabled by changing the configuration of a CV.
