Most of the ready-built "CW" or SSB HF transceivers in use
today do that sort of keying. Major reason is keeping the
PA at the same bias for all modes selected; makes for a
simpler mode selection control.
I believe you've made another of your factual errors, Leonard.

Collins used to use this method in the KWM-2A. Unfortunately, the
company used a 1375 Hz tone--too high for anything but casual CW use.

"Casual CW use???"

Yeah, casual CW use. There are some folks who use CW occasionally. The
KWM-2A's scheme might be okay for some of those who are casual CW ops.
The KWM-2A offered no RIT and no CW filters. Go figure.

As Colonel Jessup would say, "Is there any other kind?"

Yes, Colonel Jessup, there is another kind.

today certainly CW as once used seriously but harly in what 50 years

I've never operated CW from a Harley.

Yeh. Morse Code is like a way-back time machine transporter for some
of these guys.

Are the three of you trying some sort of "Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest" routine?
