Hello Harry,

Thanks for your fast reply. A lot of DCC decoders are available at the web,
and I choose the one I mentioned because of the simplicity of the design.
If the current design doesn't work out, I might check out that merg club...
although I generally prefer free available schemes above restricted
schemes...

Best regards,

Jan
