DCC Impulses Column - 3
Disappointingly, this display is almost illegible when viewed
straight on, or from above. The best contrast occurs when
viewed from about 45 degrees below.
The less expensive Prodigy Express

throttle has no backlighting
and is visible over a very wide range of angles above and below
straight-on.
At first glance, there is a strong resemblance between the
Prodigy series throttles and NCE’s ProCab. However, in my
hand, the MRC controls are more difficult to use.
To hold the throttle in my hand and operate the knob with
one hand, I have to hold the bottom of the throttle, which is
uncomfortable to me and has me concerned that I’ll drop it.
