CIS-36-50, also known as BEE-36 or T600, is a synchronous system. Usually a 36 Bd idle sequence is transmitted, followed by 50 baud traffic.

All traffic is encrypted.
A message begins with a bit synch sequence and a start-of-message preamble. Message data is sent with a 7-bit, 3:4 ratio alphabet, and ends with an end of transmission sequence containing at least 4 end-of-transmission characters.
The length of a message is variable. If a transmission contains more than one message, the start of message sequence is left out between messages.
Occasionally traffic with call signs in FSK CW is transmitted.
