You are right. However, I bought it as an excursion locomotive. I have probably 50 or more ME turnouts installed, so that would be a lot of frog juicers. My regular diesel fleet experiences no problems with the turnouts. That is why replacing the decoder with a Keep Alive is a more reasonable financial and operational option.

You could install a Frog Juicer on the offending frogs. They power the frogs 
and automatically switch polarity when the points move.
