If I understand USOS correctly (happy to be wrong!), then a USOS
station would send the first example above as:
<FIGS>599<SPACE><FIGS>123<SPACE><FIGS>123
and the second example as:
<FIGS>599-123-123
By my count, that's 14 characters in the first instance and 12
characters in the second. So how does using the first one save time?
It's 17% longer! Also, since I'm sending 17% more characters,
wouldn't there be a higher chance of some sort of interference
stomping one of my bits?
