StreamByter does not recognize $08 and $09 (and related values) as valid decimal values

StreamByter works in hex, but you can use $ to indicate a decimal value.

But, $08 and $09 are not recognized as valid values, while $0, $01, etc. are.

Avoid $08 and $09. Use $8, $9, or just 8 and 9, since the hex and decimal values are equivalent.

Note, the error repeats at $018, $019, $028, $029, ..., then runs continuous through $080 to $099.

While there is a workaround, it can be irritating, as you get into the habit of always using $ to stay in decimal, and the leading zero helps keep things aligned. (And the leading zero is required to differentiate the thirteenth byte of a message from the channel of a message.)
