I think you are saying to transmit unmodulated carrier for silence and a tone which would shift the transmitted frequency from the unmodulated value. It is my understanding that CW would represent no tone as no carrier. So the two methods should sound the same at the receiver but would have different RF signatures. I read () ?that the needed bandwidth for cw is less than 100 Hz and ideally the bandwidth is zero because the carrier is just being turned on and off.
?
If I fed in a 1 KHz tone into my FT-60 to generate a dot or dash and fed in nothing for silence, then the bandwidth would be 2 KHz for FM or 1 KHz for SSB. Is that right?

It's an FM rig. If you want to send cw, like as in a beacon, use the audio input with a tone.

I carefully read over the table of contents of the FT-60¡¯s user manual and found nothing about connecting a key in order to transmit CW. Am I missing something?
