The Stanton Radio CAB (S-CAB) is a hand-held wireless controller that allows a user to operate up to 15 locomotives on layouts with less than 99 locos. It is battery powered, and includes a radio transmitter to send commands directly to radio-equipped decoders (LXRs) installed in vehicles, usually locomotives. S-CAB is supplied as a package, which includes a loco receiver/decoder (LXR) and a USB cable. If its battery is already charged (it should be), S-CAB is ready for immediate operation. Just switch it on. Additional loco receivers are separately available. The Loco Receiver-DecoderThis is actually two circuit boards back-to-back in one package. On one side is a D13SR decoder, manufactured by NCE Corporation.
On the other side is a 916 MHz radio receiver and its antenna, manufactured by Linx Technologies. |
When the antenna is mounted vertically, the receiver-decoder is 1.9” long, 0.75” wide and the antenna stands 0.63” tall. |

The loco receiver is 0.75” wide and 0.3” thick. With the antenna mounted flat, length is 2.5”. With the antenna mounted vertically, the circuit board can be trimmed to 1.9”. Radio performance is similar with either antenna mounting. For best performance, try to fit the LXR close to the loco’s roof and avoid placing the antenna beside the loco motor. |
