Substitute decoder for GP-18 ( Life Like )

[Biased turkey]

I,m new in the DCC field.
I have a Life Like Mopac GP-18. I found an article about how to convert it to DCC.

A Digitrax DN93 or DN93FX is used , but none of these 2 items is listed on the Digitrax website.
Is there any replacement one ? Is there any other brand of decoder that might do the job ?
Tia for any info.

www.digitrax.com lists the DZ123 or DZ143 as suitable for the LifeLike GP-18 in Nscale:

I am sure there are other brands that would be suitable. Best way to find out is to look up the various manufacturers' websites. Or try Tony's Train Exchange or Litchfield Station.

I have a Central California Traction GP-18 in HO, and I used a Digitrax DH123A decoder for the mars lights, engine lights, etc. It's a great decoder, I'm happy with it. The equivelant is the DZ123. I'd go for one of those.

Thanks to both of you for the information and the link to Digitrax.
I forgot to mention that I'm modeling in N scale.
The DZ123 or DZ143 should fit the bill for both my Life-Like Mopac GP18, TH&B SW9/1200 and my Atlas TH&B GP7.
