[GreenKeys] UGC-136BX observations

[Michael Katzmann]

The UGC-136BX seems to be configured to a specific Navy (submarine)
workflow.

It seems all received messages are saved into a memory location in
the UGC-136B, and the location is *printed* before the message. If I
receive a message (QBF), then I see

*MPN 132 A.P.*
*THE QUICK BROWN FOX*

If a delay (mark) of more than 5 seconds occurs, the memory is closed. Upon
receipt of the next text, a new memory location is opened
*MPN 133 A.P.*
*THE QUICK BROWN FOX (SECOND LINE)*

According to the manual, setting the Norm/Auto Print switch to "Auto print"
will prevent the saving to memory but I do not see this (it always adds a
MPN XXX).

This is all a little awkward for amateur radio use. The processor is an
8080 clone, so it might be possible to disassemble the code and mitigate
some of these annoyances. (although that would be quite daunting)
