Yardtrain Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Raymond, Do you know what is the difference between the 50-1002 original remote and the newest ver. 50-1038 ? Manufactures generally don't change part numbers without a reason. Should I upgrade while they are available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Based on what I originally understood the only change was the internal design of the thumb-wheel as previous version had part that was discontinued. However I have now heard that there were also other design changes in the electronics (likely to accommodate alternate chips that had been discontinued from the previous design). The change in the overall product number is to know what version of parts a customer remote would have if they have a problem and need parts. Other than that, there is no reason to get a new one unless you want an extra/backup. I was told however this will be the last production run of DCS remotes.

Yardtrain Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 Ok. So no signal improvements or such. Even though I do like the phone app I can’t see myself totally abandoning the remote. With the remote you can control things like speed with out having to look at it. Besides it’s hard to see a phone display in the sun.

Rayman4449 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 No changes in wireless range from remote to TIU (which is the only signal related impact there could be with the remote). I'm with you I like both the app and the remote and like the remote for the same reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I posted update/correction to my original reply. They did have design change to the internal electronics but nothing that changes how it operates. Word is this will be the last production run of remotes.
