Wasn't morse code _always_ digital?

Good point, but I don't reckon. I take it you mean that it is already

If spaces between letters are required in Morse code, then wouldn't at
least a 2 bit byte be required to represent each of dash/dot/space?

The English alphabet is represented in 8 bit bytes as ASCII. Morse needs
at least 2 bit bytes, but bytes nonetheless. If the English alphabet
hasn't always been digital, then neither has Morse.

On the other hand, if Morse in fact *doesn't* need spaces between
letters, could someone please pass the dunce's cap?

Morse code does have gaps. Therefore it is trinary not binary.

actually the spaces are not really needed. They just make life easier when
listening to the code. Each letter technically has its own code and no two
are the same and no two need spaces to be that particular letter. As far as
I can tell morse code only really used the spaces (or pauses) to make life
easy for the human beings who had to listen to it and translate it.

The length of the code for each letter is not fixed. for example e is . and
o is --- There is no way of knowing when letters start and end without
the gaps. especialy if you are coming in mid stream.
You clearly dont know morse code, not that ignorance has ever stopped you
from commenting.

Sorry. I blame the cat for the error.
