There are also a lot of morse decoder programs which take your

doing. Some programs indicate the speed of the received morse, and I

surprised that I now seem to be able to copy quite a lot at up to
20wpm.
I don't think there's a radio made that doesn't call it "CW". The VBR
binary system invented by S. F. B. Morse for electric clicker DC wire
communications might resemble CW at first glance, but modern CW is quite
different.
Well, my Etón E5 certainly doesn't say 'CW'. It says 'SSB'. Does this mean
I can't receive CW? Just what HAVE I been listening to while sitting on
the toilet?
Can you describe the sounds for us?
CW is the "Mode" of Transmission {Signal}
* CW = Continuous Wave
Morse Code is the "Method" of Transmission {Information}
* Structured Organized Bits of Continuous Wave
.
Oh dear. My old Trio TS520s DOES say CW. Pity. I was hoping to use it for
SSB and morse. What AM I going to do?
