  2. Morse code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code

    This Morse key was originally used by Gotthard railway, later by a shortwave radio amateur [2] Morse code is a method used in telecommunication to encode text characters as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes, or dits and dahs. [3] [4] Morse code is named after Samuel Morse, one of the early ...

  3. Tap code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_code

    X. Y. Z. The tap code, sometimes called the knock code, is a way to encode text messages on a letter-by-letter basis in a very simple way. The message is transmitted using a series of tap sounds, hence its name. [1] The tap code has been commonly used by prisoners to communicate with each other. The method of communicating is usually by tapping ...

  4. Beat frequency oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_frequency_oscillator

    Add-on 455 kHz homemade BFO board. In a radio receiver, a beat frequency oscillator or BFO is a dedicated oscillator used to create an audio frequency signal from Morse code radiotelegraphy ( CW) transmissions to make them audible. The signal from the BFO is mixed with the received signal to create a heterodyne or beat frequency which is heard ...

  5. Morse code mnemonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code_mnemonics

    Morse code mnemonics are systems to represent the sound of Morse characters in a way intended to be easy to remember. Since every one of these mnemonics requires a two-step mental translation between sound and character, none of these systems are useful for using manual Morse at practical speeds. Amateur radio clubs can provide resources to ...

  6. American Morse code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Morse_code

    American Morse code. American Morse Code — also known as Railroad Morse—is the latter-day name for the original version of the Morse Code developed in the mid-1840s, by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail for their electric telegraph. The "American" qualifier was added because, after most of the rest of the world adopted " International Morse Code ...

  7. Prosigns for Morse code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosigns_for_Morse_code

    For example, when embedded in text the Morse code sequence represents the "double hyphen" character (normally "=", but also "– –"). When the same code appears alone it indicates the action of spacing down two lines on a page in order to create the white space indicating the start of a new paragraph [2] or new section in a message heading. [1]

  8. Heterodyne - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterodyne

    In radio telegraphy, the characters of text messages are translated into the short duration dots and long duration dashes of Morse code that are broadcast as radio signals. Radio telegraphy was much like ordinary telegraphy. One of the problems was building high power transmitters with the technology of the day.

  9. Baudot code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baudot_code

    The Baudot code ( French pronunciation: [boˈdo]) is an early character encoding for telegraphy invented by Émile Baudot in the 1870s. [1] It was the predecessor to the International Telegraph Alphabet No. 2 (ITA2), the most common teleprinter code in use before ASCII. Each character in the alphabet is represented by a series of five bits ...
