Haven't got a clue, but it sounds great, and you've convinced me. Honestly, you came across extremely well with your voice and sound levels. Well, videod to.
@@DongitsModelRailway I see. I only went and had a look because of this video. Similar to your preferred decoder the 617s were going for £20 a throw before Covid. Any info on what has changed between MX and MN? The MX 615 is available with wires: need them for smaller engines.
@@56NeilWatson Key difference is that it's a different (more recent) processor architecture which can be made on a different (more recent) production process. I mentioned an ABC tuning difference in the video, which is the only thing I found different -- everything else is pretty much identical. On the larger decoders, they tend to come with a couple more functions (e.g. 10 rather than 8) but that's not relevant for 6 and 8 pin chips which only have 2 or 3 actual wired outputs anyway.

And what is that simple single CV change to disable SUSI?
What about the most important thing of all: does the MN offer as fine motor control as the MX?
Thank God for old school normal DC cab control…
I run N Gauge and use 615/6/7 in direct and wired and they are like rocking horse muck
The MN170 looks to be the same size as an MX617. Coastal DCC have Direct 6 pin versions in stock at the moment.
