Exactly, yes, though they are the same digit the way they are sent out by the command station is different.

In case you are not aware you can allocate the same accessory address to more than one accessory decoder so for example you only have to make one command to throw a double slip and adjacent point()s rather than having to make 3 or 4 separate commands.

with the AD S8 DCC concepts claim that each channel has a large enough power that it will throw two point motors which is handy for cross overs etc

You are right Chris & thanks for the reminder as a part of my layout may have to go to some local surface points & frog juicers & should get away with using one ADS8 unit.

they pack a decent amount of features into the units which is handy
