Has anyone tried installing the MRC decoder w/sound #1644 in a Kato SD70-MAC loco?
It is supposed to be a drop in decoder much like the Digitrax decoders for the Kato SD-70 but it includes sound.
Any comments on ease of installation, locomotive control quality, and sound quality would be appreciated.

I installed an MRC sound decoder into one of my Kato F units a while back. While I usually always have problems, this one went in without a hitch and it is now one of my favorite engines. I think it was a 1645 but I can't remember.
The sound quality is great, as is the locomotive controllability (is that a word?). My wife just bought me one of them new really expensive Athearn units with sound and I wouldn't tell her but my MRC Kato will outperform it.
