    morse code is a series of dits and dahs that are generated by a morse code keyer AKA cw paddle and you need a license to talk on ham and according to part 95 of fcc rules you cant do cw (morse code) over Citizen Band AKA 11 meters (CB), But i would check into a local ham club and talk to them about becoming a ham tech and then u can do long range cw with ham operators on 10 meter all around the world, best of luck, Hope This Helps -Cody

    An Amateur radio transceiver made to actually communicate Morse Code does so with a mode called CW (Continuous Wave), where depressing the key turns on the transmitter with just the carrier wave, and releasing the key turns it off. The receiver basically down converts the carrier wave to an audio tone you will hear.

    VHF/UHF transmitters may use Morse Code for identification. in those cases there is a Morse Code generator, which is probably a microcontroller or the repeater computer, and a tone generator which makes the tone you hear on the repeater channel. The controller would hold the transmitter on and turn the tone generator on and off instead of the transmitter in CW.

    Citizend Band (CB) and FRS are prohibited form using Morse Code/CW. They can only transmit voice, and in the case of FRS, tone squelch (where a sub audible tone opens the receiver audio).
