More DT400 Info

Digitrax is planning to release 3 versions of the long awaited DT400 throttle.

1. The first version is a tethered walk-around type fitted with IR emitters. Expect list price from $150-$200*.

2. The second version is simpler 900 MHz radio, like the DT100R. Expect list price to be $175 - $250*.

3. The third version will be duplex 900 MHz radio. There will also be a UR92 LocoNet unit. Expect list price on throttle to be $225 - $275*.

* I have estimated list prices based on current costs of production units and added some $ for DT400 complexity.
