Some of the early commercial (1960's) SSB rigs offered CW capability with a
built-in audio oscillator that fed into the transmit audio. That is not MCW,
but pseudo CW. It would be CW if the audio oscillator was a perfect sine
wave and the carrier and opposite sideband suppression were perfect so that
the only RF transmitted was the sideband produced by the audio oscillator.
But, of course, it never is...

Hi Ron
The old Collins KWS-1 sent CW in this manner. Always sounded
good. I use the same technique with my Flex-1500. I spend most of
my time on either CW or Digital (PSK these days) and rag chewing my
preference. I am an old CW hand but I was never in love with sending
CW ... but love copying it hi hi. I use MixW and simply switch from
PSK to CW and leave PowerSDR in DGU mode. I have asked many
operators at the other end to check my signal for problems of any
kind and have never had a report of signal that wasn't clean and easy
to copy. It makes operating so simple and it certainly gives the guy
at the other end a break hi.
