Hello
I currently have a colpitts oscillator working at 2 Mhz and I'm now trying to modulate On/Off keying any ideas?
Thanks

Not sure what you are trying to do. Is this a Morse code thing?

Is this a TTL compatible signal level?

You should be able to run the signal into a logic gate and enable/disable the other gate input.

Shunt the input to the transmitter with a '4066 quad bilateral switch or FET or BJT to modulate the data...I assume the baud rate is slow enough such that a brief RC-like delay due to switching won't ruin the operation...if so, buffer the shunting device a bit more to eliminate that RC-effect/lack of current. Ya dig?
