Re: [Elecraft] K3 UOS?

On the Teletype model 33 and 35, one character delay was enough for the carriage to return to the left margin. That made the CR LF sequence the favored new line. (The LF could be executed in one character time.) These machines used ASCII code as compared with the model 28 and earlier models

Re: [Elecraft] K3 UOS?

Well as I understood it from years ago it was not just setup but condition of the machine too. Today in logic terms it would be a "race" condition. Would the carriage actually be returned and ready in time? Quite often not so the solution was to send multiple CR's or LF's. The mechanical

Re: [Elecraft] K3 UOS?

On a Model 15 or 19, you could see the mechanism move on a or character. On a 28, you could see the typebox shift positions. In software, it's the same: you have a 5 bit baudot character and a figs/ltrs state, they're read, decoded and the appropriate character "printed" on the display.

In pre-history (when the Model 19 was state of the art) we simply hit LTRS several times after sending figures to be sure it was received. Also, every line of text ended with a Carriage Return - Line Feed - Letters key sequence to be sure it was ready for more text. 73 Ron AC7AC

John, Don't forget to check the connections on the outside of the K3 as well. A loose PL-259 connector could cause that same behavior. PL-259s need to be tightened finger tight, and then given just a little bit more tightening with pliers to assure a good connection to the coax braid. 73,
