                          Pink Sheets.  Issue 2.1.  July 2016.

DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION:  The Recommended Standard for TC 
Synchronization and Channel Coding contains specifications for 
synchronization and channel coding to be used by space missions on 
asynchronous communications links.  The current issue adds support

'codeword' for consistency with modern usage; deletes obsolete annex 
detailing changes from documents retired in 2005.
