Codan 3012

General Information

Codan 3012 mode is a proprietary standard developed by CODAN PTY Australia. Codan 3212 is similar to the Codan 3012 mode with same modulation parameters but slightly different encoding parameters.
The Codan 3212 modem also supports decoding of the Codan 3012 mode.

Usage:

§ ARQ and broadcast data communication over HF.

§ ALE
