?Unbalancing the mixer so that it actually produces an OUTPUT signal which actually is the carrier, seems pretty much the idea of CW to me.? ??
However, I did some research recently to figure out if the FCC definition of "CW" included what FLDIGI does to create CW (send an audio tone into a SSB balanced mixer to create single frequency signal) -- and concluded that it was completely included and
that even novices / technicians could use it.? ?
There is more than one way to turn a carrier on and off, would be my thinking.

I thought CW was turning the TX on for dits and dahs and off otherwise, basically an unmodulated carrier at a given frequency.
Is it common to use a modulated carrier, where the audio of code is sent instead?
Or did I get the whole concept wrong?
