This new Lenz decoder represents the highest performance, low priced format available to DCC users to date and is a further example of the continuing benefits of the DCC revolution.

Lenz GmbH is pleased to announce the release of its newest advanced decoder the LE105XF four-function-output 1.2 amp continuous output locomotive decoder for $29.95 MSRP (US). This decoder is currently in distribution channels and sufficient quantities have been produced to meet expected demand. We expect this product to be on hobby shop shelves around the world by early next week.

The LE105XF has the same ultra thin (.13 inch) footprint as our popular LE103XF decoder and is based on the same core processor that has already been awarded an NMRA conformance warrant. And like our other decoders the LE105XF sports the industry's best goof proof warranty. (We all make a mistake in installation once in awhile.)

Our XF line of decoders have been designed to provide true compatibility across the entire DCC industry. This has been accomplished by providing a rich set of capabilities specially designed and tested to provide native capabilities found in popular systems on the market. Features include 128 speed steps, all forms of programming including both long and short form operations mode programming, advanced consist control, speed tables which work with all speed steps, excellent operation on DC layouts, and superior precision glide motor control.

What's new is that the new LE105XF sports four function outputs and additional special lighting effects. The LE105XF is also designed to have superior performance for high stall current motors such Buehler motors and the motors that are used in the Lifelike PA.

The first two function outputs on the new LE105XF are identical to the LE103XF. These function outputs allow the user to configure the decoder for directional lighting, independent lighting, and selectable headlight dimming.

The two new function outputs can be configured with two new special effects, blinking (with a user selectable rate) and ditch light control (the ability to turn on both ditch lights or alternately blink both ditch lights).

Also new is the ability for the user to select which user functions (F1-F8) are used to control each of these two new function outputs. These new function outputs can be combined with the existing lighting functions to achieve many other popular lighting effects
