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

[Anthony Vallot]

Do you know any TTY folks in the Houston, Texas area?  I have a model 28 KSR
that I cannot energize the magnets through the signal wires.

Thanks.

Hi Nick:

My guess is that the different equipments have different interfaces, such as

on-off loop, polar loop, audio tones, etc. in addition to using different 
numbers of bits per word and different parity bit(s).  Do you have a scope?


Have Fun,
