It may be that the software is using 200 hz for the
shift. At one time that seemed to be a common shift
for another digital mode, maybe packet. With sound
cards being used on the computers some programs are
sloppy and may not even send the cr/lf and expect the
computer to take care of that.
I wrote a computer program years ago on an 8080
processor and had it set to do an automatic cr/lf/ltrs
while I was typing. It looked for the first space
after about 65 characters, If it did not see one,
then it would force the cr/lf/ltrs to be sent at 72
characters. I could disable that function if I wanted
to.
The computer keyboard I was using did not have a
linefeed so to speak of. To get it to do that I had
to hold down the Ctrl key and use one of the leters.
Can't recall if it was a Ctrl M or if that was the
carriage return with the ctrl key.
