   Hi, Anton Shepelev! -> Alexander Koryagin   
   I read your message from 04.03.2021 17:31   
      
    AK>> When you write a Morse text you need three sym-bols -- the third   
    AK>> symbol is needed to divide letters from each other. It is a

   Without a special signal all the Morse dots/dashes will merge into a   
   continuous stream. So, a pause in Morse code is also a signal. We have short   
   beep, long beep, and a long pause.   
      
   Just for fun, we can invent a coding system using pause signals. For instance,   
      
   A short beep - is a separator   
      
   Between separators can be:   
   one second pause implies 1   
   two seconds pause implies 2   
   three seconds pause implies 3   
   ....   
   nine seconds pause implies 9   
   ten seconds pause implies 0   
      
   And we have very a silent variant of "Morse" code for digits transfer. ;-)   
      
    AS> See also:

   inary-ternary-or-quinary   
      
   IMHO it is writen too much there on a simple subject.   
      
      
   Bye, Anton!
