[Elecraft] K3 UOS?

[Rick WA6NHC]

And because there were variations in how the machines (the actual 
teletype mechanism) could be set up, what we now presume for <EOL> (End 
Of Line) is ENTER, it wasn't uncommon to see

<CR><CR><LF><LTR> or variations on the theme <CR> carriage return, <LF> 
Line Feed (advance one line) <LTR> LeTteRs... so that it was (almost) 
guaranteed to start each line at a known point.

UOS should NEVER be presumed, even with software.  This was a good 
question.... now awaiting an answer since we're on the same page :-D

Unshift on space was devised to bring the receiving machine back to letters when a spacebar character was received to keep from printing gibberish if the shift to letters character was garbled or (heaven forbid) forgotten.
