At least Elecraft's does a duel purpose, there are hardware/ software
vendors who reverse the wiring
in them just because they can and their special cable costs a bunch.......
Not going to name names but no one in ham radio community, for those who
know something of
CNC machines I am sure you can guess

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] What's wrong with Serial
Its a dual purpose port. I run two cables out of the port, one is
short pig tail that is strictly RS-232 and terminates in a female
connector that can plug into a standard serial cable. The other is
the control cable that I use to feed the transverters.
Keeps the two uses separate and avoids connection problems.

It seems to me the glaring error with Elecraft's serial port
implementation is the ability to blow the I/O card out of the water
if you use anything but the "special" K2 serial cable. They should
have designed it so you could use an "off the shelf" serial cable.
Way too much damage exposure. Really seems out of character to the
rest of the rig options.
