Think I will be seeing cv numbers in my sleep tonight all zimo sound decoders now have cv,s set up to do the automatic uncoupling shuffle.esu decoders were so much easier using a lok programmer

I have just been testing auto-coupling on a TBD decoder and it was a single function key to bring it into action and 2 CVs to set it up, one for speed of shunt and the other for duration of that travel. The standing loco shuffles up in the last direction of travel to trigger the uncouple then selects the reverse direction to draw away when so operated.

Is this a feature that all decoders should have?
I mainly use Zimo decoders, but it so happens the loco I would most like to use it on has a TCS decoder fitted.
