Morse code is actually a trinary coding system. 1. There is the dot. 2. There is the dash - nominally three times as long as a dot. 3. Then there is the space between them. read more
Morse Code was designed as binary code i.e. it consisted of two discrete values mnemonically represented as dot and dash and may look like: As you can see that each Morse Code consists of a set of 1,2,3,4 or 5 dots and dashes. read more
Morse code is said to be a binary (literally meaning two by two) code because the components of the code consists of only two things - a dot and a dash. Wikipedia on the other hand says: Strictly speaking it is not binary, as there are five fundamental elements (see quinary). read more
