David,
Well we don't have any Swordfish aircrew veterans ( or your question would have been answered long ago ) but one of my chums was an immediately post-war radio operator, next time I bump into him I'll quiz him on this.
As a matter of probably no interest at all, we have a Lancaster radio kit with active morse key, and a working Aldis lamp; I make a point of teaching kids ' SOS' as it still might help them nowadays if in deep s**t.
When I was by that kit the other day, talking with the mum about the exhibits, one of the kids came up bothering & she said " go and learn to ( morse ) your name "...
When I said ' that'll take a while ' she replied " that's the idea ! ".
Will let you know on the TX/RX, probably after Monday.
