Default Re: Morse Pitch

As previously said, Morse is usually CW so only the carrier is transmitted.

But some transmitters did offer MCW where the carrier did indeed have a tone modulated on it, this being for the situation where the receiver was not going to be a communications receiver, i.e. did not have a BFO, or maybe the transmitter VFO was going to drift a lot.

When MCW was used it was typically modulated 800-1000Hz, which is similar to the typical BFO offset commonly used.
