You're right about the transients and the sidebands they create. Keyed
CW creates sidebands too. I don't think those sideband components could
be accurately called intermodulation products though. 

> But there is a discontinuity that results from switching between the two frequencies, which produces transients that will excite intermod. Think about it -- even if you manage to switch at a zero crossing, the resulting waveforms have two different slopes by virtue of their different frequencies.
