Hi Cory, 
 
There are three big differences.
 
1. FIGS-J is Bell in the International Telex system while hams and the US use FIGS-S for Bell.
 
So, you may hear "bells" instead of receiving the apostrophe ( ' ).  
 
2. Telex uses FIGS-D for the answerback request or who-are-you command and you will probably print a German cross
instead of the dollar sign ( $ ) that a ham machine will normally print.
 
3. You will find that FIGS-F is dollar sign ( $ ) on a Telex machine while most hams have FIGS-F set up as 
an exclamation point ( ! ).
