Does anyone know why these caps are not fitted as standard to the decoder? Especially to the more expensive sound decoder. I am not sure I would have the confidence to 'meddle' with a £100 sound decoder to fit a stay alive myself and yet any spec of dirt on track causes that annoying sound interrupt.
I can't see this DCC catching on - ten years from now it will be all battery operated and radio controlled!
I agree for an expensive controller it makes, it does increase the size though which may be a reason. Maybe it should be available as an option. For locos with multiple wheel pickups it isn't normally a problem, certainly my Sparrow Hawk has never had a problem. For the smaller locos, 0-4-0s for example, I have fitted capacitors which makes a big difference. You do need to turn off DC support though, otherwise you can get erratic behaviour.For those who want more infor on fitting a stay alive capacitor:
