Hello Al,
The MORSE CODE is giving you the VOR, ADF or NDB name. This is IMPORTANT stuff
you should very much learn, especially as a BVI pilot. So, if the waypoint is
named "ACN", you would hear...
DI-DAH (PAUSE)
DAH-DI-DAH-DI (PAUSE)
DAH-DI
Here's a good starting point.

Al,
I think it’s possibly a VOR identifier, for a navigational beacon. If you say
“nav 1 ident off,” or “ADF ident off,” it might stop beeping at you. THey’re
useful for pilots flying without GPS.
Best,
Zack.

Hi everyone. During my current flight, after cruising for a time, I began
hearing a beep pattern. I’m pretty sure it’s morse code, but I’m not sure what
it means. The thing is, it repeats about every 20 or 30 seconds, and it’s
starting to drive me nuts! LOL. Anyone know what it might be, and how to make
it stop?
TIA,
Al
