On a Model 15 or 19, you could see the mechanism move on a <figs> or
<ltrs> character.
On a 28, you could see the typebox shift positions.
In software, it's the same: you have a 5 bit baudot character and a
figs/ltrs state, they're read, decoded and the appropriate character
"printed" on the display.
I'd expect the encoding algorithms to follow the best practices while
sending and decoding to handle all the odd variations that might be out
there.

Ever since I bought my KX3, I have wondered just how the software handles the
shift between letters and numbers, but I never thought to ask this forum. I
thought about doing a few tests to find out, but since I haven't worked RTTY
since I sold my Model 19 in 1990, it just never was a priority.
