No, I suggest to keep the K at the end.
Some software skips space at the end of a buffer.
Putting the K there ensures that there will be a space sent
after the call. Otherwise the call won't be separated
from the noise garbage.
Message should be:
SM5FUG SM5FUG UR 599 599 SM5FUG K
Double calls at beginning to synchronize on and a single
at the end.
On screen it will look like
GARBAGESM5FUG SM5FUG UR 599 599 SM5FUG KMOREGARBAGE
A Carrige return at start is also nice to have.
