As far as I understand, CW (Continuous Wave) should be an independent modulation method, meaning that only the carrier wave is transmitted when the key is pressed, and nothing is transmitted when the key is not pressed.
I'm using a YAESU FT-450D, and I've noticed that when I adjust the mode, both USB and CW are displayed on the screen simultaneously. This makes me wonder: shouldn't USB and CW be mutually exclusive modes? Shouldn't it be that if one is active, the other isn't? Why are they both showing up at the same time? Is it possible that I'm transmitting using the USB mode while also sending a CW signal?
Note: When I say "using USB modulation to transmit Morse code," I mean that the actual modulation method is USB, but the content being transmitted is simply the sound of "dit." Using CW (Continuous Wave) modulation means only the carrier wave is transmitted; there is no modulation. The receiving end receives the "dit" sound automatically based on the received carrier wave.
