Note: While this decoder offers Blinking Ditch Lights, they do not blink back and forth in perfect harmony. Because the decoder processor is so busy with speed control, Back-EMF, and Transponding all taking processor time all the time, there isn't enough processor time left to keep the ditch lights blinking perfectly.

DN122K2 Decoders Do Not Have:
JST Connector Harness System (it's irrelevant for a drop-in decoder)
Quiet Drive
Forward and Reverse Trim for the User-Loadable Speed Table; it's implemented, but it's flawed
Kick Start for the User-Loadable Speed Table; they're supposed to have it, but they don't
Function Remapping
CV Reset
DAC Function Control
DAC Momentum Trim
Dither
Properly-Timed Blinking Ditch Lights (FX Feature)
Power-Source Conversion (CV12) - it has automatic analog instead
