Do you know what he had?
Perhaps what he would like is another radio similar to what he had. TMT |

You can't make this listenable with a FM-receiver :-) Morse code is just the most common way to *use* CW. In shortwave/ham radio use, CW is understood to mean Morse code. I'm sure that's how his grandfather meant it. In shortwave use 'CW mode' means having a adjustable BFO to adjust the listenig tone to a frequency the listener likes best. "CW" was originally used to differentiate "continuous wave" telegraphy from "spark" telegraphy ("spark" being a damped sinusoid). Technically spoken CW is independent from any code. You're free to use your own created code on the HAM-bands when you make the syntax available. You can send 'morse' code in FM-mode very easy. But you have to have a tone generator in the TX and you have the limitation not being able to adjust the listening tone in the RX. At least telegraphy -with morse code- was used first on 'telegraphy stations' connected by wire.... Greetings, Volker |
