[GreenKeys] Model 15 + C-64 Baud rate question

[tony.podrasky]

GA OMs;

You could put a timing loop in after each character - to expand
the time before the next character is printed.

If the 15 is in good shape, you'll be able to adjust the range finder
and get it to print 50 BAUD. That will probably be fine because you
won't be getting the "hits" you would get when listening to RTTY
on shortwave.
