How does the Lenz lh100 program function keys?

One of the best features of Lenz is that the LH100 can program any function key to operate as a momentary switch or as an on-off switch. This programming is specific to the decoder being programmed and is stored in the LZV, so that any other throttle, including the LH90 (or the XPA) will also operate that key as momentary.

What is the difference between the Lenz lz100 and lzv100?

The Lenz sets are defined by the whether they come with a single LH90 rotary knob controller (Set 90) or the full-functioned push-button style LH100 (Set 100).

Are Lenz sound decoders any good?

What are the functions of the lh100?

The LH100 offers full programming capability and access to functions 0-12. Though functions 9-12 require hitting a “shift” key as the numeric keypad is a standard 10-digit design.

Do I need a second throttle for my Lenz DCC system?

Like virtually all other DCC systems, Lenz’s basic sets come with a base unit and a single throttle and if you’re operating your railroad solely by yourself this may be all you need. However, once you discover the joys of block-free operation that DCC provides, you’ll probably want another throttle pretty soon.
