[GreenKeys] Crypto question re: AN/UGM-11 TTY test generator

Haven't found a manual yet, but did get my $2 TTY test generator
running last night. Fixed a power supply, traced out a bunch of the
logic circuits, and replaced two dud chips. Hooked it up to my Model
28 and the Quick Brown Fox is now jumping merrily.
(I'll clean up my circuit tracings some time and put them on a web
page for anyone interested)

But besides QBF, this gadget also generates messages for a bunch of
crypto machines - looks like garbage on the Model 28 but I don't have
any idea what crypto test messages should look like - The AN/UGM-11
(a.k.a. Wavetek 404) generates test sequences for KW-7, KW-37, KG-14,
KG-84, and KW-46 equipments.

These are generated from much larger proms than the FOX prom so I
guess that the messages are longer- but what the heck would they be?
Any info or links to a crypto machine e-mail list would be greatly appreciated.

Huh, I wonder if the manuals are impossible to find because they were
classified?
FYI, photos of an AN/UGM-11  are at http://jproc.ca/crypto/ugm11.html
