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

[drlegendre .]

@Tony

Ok, so even if the unit is set at spec (45.45) I can use the 50 baud
setting on the C-64 side, so long as I add a timing delay between each
successive char?

@All

Also, I've been trying to find info on the Range Finder - what is is, how
it works, now it's adjusted, etc. but I've come up dry. I can't even find a
section on it in the 138 pp. manual I found. What is that thing for?
