Apparently Kirk did know the Morse code, since he was able to copy the

A Treker, not a "Trekkie"

OK. There you have it. End of debate. Larry has just stated that someone
who knows the sending of SOS knows "the Morse code."

Except that the sleeper ship was sending "CQ", not "SOS".

Larry on a mountainside rescuing a hiker and his wife. The hiker has
fallen and broken his leg, compound fracture. His wife is screaming.
As night falls, Larry pulls out his 2m HT and, because this is a
life-threatening emergency, calls "CQ CQ CQ de K3LT."

Ops normal.
