Thank you, nice summary.

One of my problems is that I am in Singapore.  Soldering is not an issue in
itself, but I cannot just order transistors and other small components
online.

You mention "low cost units which require you to add a power connector,
etc".  Could you recommend any that can be bought online?  With RS-232,
please?
