Hi Gert,

As you may know, RTTY is only send in uppercase only due to the limitation of 
the Baudot Code.  When the receiving station does not detect a FIGS COMMAND 
(to send numbers), then one gets PIT instead of 085 , PIY instead of 086 or 
PII instead of 088 . Most RTTY'ers know how to translate such letters. If one 
is not sure then one shud take a look at the top letter row on the keyboard. 
You can see that UE is 73 when the FIGS COMMAND is not received.  This is my 
take. However, those who understand the Baudot Code may give you a better 
view.

See ya.
