A compact full featured walkaround handheld. DT300 comes
with infrared LEDs and you just need to add a UR90 infrared
receiver or a UR91 Universal IR/Radio receiver for low cost
tetherless operation. DT300 and DT300R are not sold as part
of a starter set.

| DT300 throttles are different from most throttles
you have ever used because they have two sets of throttle
controls on a single hand held. The left hand throttle knob
& the left hand direction arrow key work together to control
the speed & direction of one train while the right hand
side can control another train at the same time. This arrangement
is particularly useful if you are operating alone & want
to have two trains under your control. The dual throttle arrangement
makes consisting & helper operations simple & much
more prototypical.
The DT300's throttle knobs themselves are radically different
from anything you've probably ever used before. The throttle
knobs are click encoders rather than potentiometers. What
this means to you is that the throttle knob rotates more
than one turn from 0 to full speed. The number of rotations
is based on whether you have the system set up for 14, 28
or 128 speed step operation. Encoder Knobs give you incredibly
fine speed control & when you select another loco, the
throttle knob position does not change the speed of the
new loco selected. No more rushing to adjust the throttle
to match the loco's speed! Try it for yourself: install
one of our decoders (128 speed step of course) in a locomotive
that runs well & run it with a DT300. You won't believe
the slow speed performance! (Note: If you prefer pushbutton
operation, you can use the up & down arrow keys to change
the locomotive's speed.)
In addition, the DT300’s throttle knobs can be used
to select loco addresses to run and to reverse the direction
of the loco controlled by the throttle.

Convert your Factory Original DT300 to a DT300R $50.00
