The Loksound Select L has solder pads on the base board with multi connectors between the decoder board which rides on top of the base board. So, the base board can be permanently soldered in place and yet the decoder board can removed by just unplugging it for whatever reason. This is good IMO. Bet the OEMs will like this for RMR activity.
Grump. Here I must disconcur. I got out of smaller scales because I could no longer see the tiny things all over the place and now to have to deal with soldering to tiny pads is annoying. I have yet to get the adapter to work. If I plug the decoder into an Atlas adapter on a U23B the decoder works perfectly. But plugged into the solder only adapter I only get shorts or nothing. Now that I have eliminated all the shorts it's just plain nothing. At least they could have soldered wires to those pads like they and everyone else does. Those tiny pads are intended for soldering machines not people.
