To distinguish between CW and Morse code, it's important to understand that many people confuse the two. CW (Continuous Wave) is a modulation technique, while Morse code is an encoding pattern (which can be understood as a digital communication protocol). Therefore, the repeater transmits Morse code using FM. If you listen to a BPM (Base Station Mode) beacon, you will hear a continuous carrier signal. When listening with CW, it will sound like a continuous tone. With AM (Amplitude Modulation), you will hear a "tick-tock" sound every second, corresponding to the BPM pattern (-···/·--·/--).
