About this model

A battery-powered MCW keyer: a straight key built into the lid of a printed box sends 700 Hz Morse tones through a radio's microphone audio path, with PTT, sidetone, four message keys and a hinged cover. Video: The MCW Generator sends Morse code as an audio tone through a transceiver's audio input, the way modulated CW (MCW) works on FM. It plugs into the radio with a stock Digirig audio/PTT cable and keys the radio's PTT itself. This is not a CW keyer in the usual sense. The transmitter sends an FM signal carrying a tone, not a bare carrier. The station at the other end hears it as a tone on FM and replies the same way. Features - straight key built into the lid, with adjustable gap and magnetic return - four message keys on a membrane keypad (CQ call etc., set in the firmware) - 700 Hz s…
