Doesnt RailCom rely on patented technology?

Absolutely! We have been granted a US patent for much of the RailCom technology and have patent applications in for the remainder. We have donated this technology to the NMRA DCC WG for use in advancing DCC technology. We did this because we believe very strongly in advancing DCC and feel that open technology is the only way to preserve your hobby investment. All NMRA DCC manufacturers will be able to use this technology in their NMRA DCC products free of any licenses.
