It said nothing in the instructions about it. I'll be running DCC shortly, and DCC can run on DC, so I think I'll just run it as it is until My DCC Controller I ordered comes in.

Oh. Alright. Thank's so much! I can't imagine why anyone would want to do that though, considering DCC can run on DC. I'm using mine as DC, but I plan to be getting a DCC Remote soon. I bought it for my transition, actually.

I bought the B&M Alco Rs3, and it came with an extra chip in a small zip lock bag. The chip is small and has 6 pins on the bottom(middle 2 are empty). It looks very simple. Could someone tell me what it's for?
