[GreenKeys] An/UGC-129(V)1 Air Force Teletype

[Andreas Müller]

Hi Denton,

congrats to your TTY and that you already established "some kind" of 
communication. I don't know this particular machine, I only own an UGC-74C, 
but according to your statement that you are getting a mess, I suggest to 
check the baud rate and maybe the setting if you are working 5-bit Baudot-code 
or 7/8-bit ASCII.
I would be happy to have an UGC-129 as well, but as I live in Germany, it is 
hard to obtain, specially regarding shipping form the US...

Please tell us more about your tests when trying on!

Regards
Andreas, DD1LM
