Morse code is a method of communication via short and long tones with standard spacing between each tone.
Adjusting the WPM (Words Per Minute) in the Options Menu on the right sidebar will adjust the lengths of the dits, dahs, and spacing accordingly.
The instrument used to send morse code is called the key.
Straight Keys use a single button and generates tones when pressed down. Straight keys require greater accuracy as you control the dits, dahs, and spacing manually.
Electronic Keys automatically generate dits or dahs of appropriate length. The Electronic Keyer used here is an Iambic keyer. It uses two paddles, one for dits, one for dahs. Switch between the two at the appropriate times to build letters.
