Yeah, no kidding!
The thing is looking closely at the manuals and such, they never mention this little trick any where. It just says wire to the function pads. Even the Litchfield Station website has a drawing that shows LED & Resistor getting wired directly to the pads. It must be part of a theory I have developed over the years based on the Lowest Common Denominator Principle.
Meaning that if you can't figure it out for yourself, then you are forced to take to someone who does. Likewise, if everyone and their brother knew about this, then you'd probably hear about a lot more of these decoders getting smoked and Soundtraxx would go out of business. By withholding this little trick from the layman, Soundtraxx can't be liable for providing the instructions on how to "hot wire" it in the first place.
