WIMorrison Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I stand to be corrected but I think it is only the Roco ones for hat system, perhaps LDT but you would need to check. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crosland Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Any booster that can take track signal as input will work with any system. You just might not get all the "system" benefits of using the same make with any specific command station to booster interface. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ron Ron Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 The matching Roco Booster is the 10765 I believe the older, long discontinued 10762 is also compatible, but you would be hard pressed to find one of these second-hand. If push comes to shove, an additional Roco 10764 Amplifier can be modified, by internally cutting some links, to be used as a Booster. You need to know what you're doing to attempt this, otherwise forget it. As Andrew says, any Booster that has the capability to be connected to and take its input from a Power Bus, will work. Note: Not all Boosters can do that. This type of Booster, when connected to the Power Bus (system track output), reads (or sniffs) the DCC signals, which it then amplifies (boosts) to produce its own track output. There is another option, which you may not want to do. Keep the MultiMaus handset and replace the 10764 Amplifier with a z21 or Z21. Apart from the extra functionality that brings, it would also open up the possibility of using any of the new range of Z21 compatible Boosters. You could even have the Amplifier modified (as mentioned above) to become just a Booster and use that as well. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butler Henderson Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Or then again maybe not - seems its wired as a cross over cable rather than straight through Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
