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
