- I emailed Alpha about 6 months ago about the 87A and suggested that the serial port is essentially obsolete and should be replaced with a more up-to-date port. The reply was "Thank you for your input

- How long has RS-232? been around. Many times longer than USB, Fire Wire, Bluetooth, IR, etc will. However they all have adapters to RS-232. I have run into the same problem with a low cost DDS signal

- Nothing prevents the use of CATx cable for RS232 control. Very easy to do, quite free of RFI issues, very low capacitance. Simply use one pair for each control circuit -- for example, orange to pin 2
