No.

The TU is ONLY a tone to keyer, and keyer to tone unit.

Using a TU, the machines do the decoding.
Using anything else such as a KAM, MFJ or Dovetron doing a conversion 
means the
the machines are just terminals.
Yes, they are "decoding" a keyed loop into print.
No, they are NOT "decoding" the signal as received.

And where does the idea that I said "no solid state" come from?
What I've been saying all along, is no electronic character decoding and 
subsequent
UART retransmission to a machine.

You want to decode using a tape punch and feed to tape to machine (at 
the same or
different speed) that's fine. The character decoding is mechanical.
