So I got the code bar 3 issue fixed as far as I can tell.  I can see all five code bars shifting back & forth.But now there is a new issue...A types as WE types as ZI types as PS types as YU types as Q3 types as quotation mark7 types as 18 types as 0Dash types as 2STOP types as hashtagSpacebar types as HLine feed types as LNow I was sleuthing the bit codes for all those keys and from what I see, the common denominator is bit 5.On those keys, a bit 5 SPACE is being turned into a MARK.  On other characters where bit 5 is *supposed* to be a Mark, they are typing fine.AND... it's not doing it on ALL the keys where switching bit5 from S to M would change the character.  For example, typing C does not change to V.I can also see that these affected characters happen to lie in the center four columns on each side of the typebox (middle four for the FIGS section, & middle four for the LTRS section.)The bit 5 code bar is NOT stuck. I can see it freely running back & forth between M & S.So the question is: what could be causing a MARK to be sent on bit 5 in cases where it should be a SPACE?Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions appreciated 73sMikeKD7VRG
