of isolation, e.g. by using a RF transformer, a simple buffer/driver/PA
stage, two schottky small signal diodes back to back.
In transmitting Morse code, the CW carrier must be turned on and off.
To avoid abruptly turning the carrier on and off, the drive strength
of the GPIO pin used for transmission is gradually increased from 0 to
16ma with the idea being that this will reduce the frequency spurs created.
Specifically, the current is increased up to maximum current by following
a raised cosine curve.
Furthermore, a random amount of time domain jitter is added to the turn on
and turn off ramps to again reduce the spurs created by the turn on/ off
transients.
