CLOVER-II is the advancement of CLOVER-I, with 4 tone pulses and a max data rate of 750 bpsBits per second (bps). Also known as Q-CLOVER and QUAD-CLOVER. The symbol rate is always 31.25 BdBaud (unit symbol Bd) is the unit for symbol rate or modulation rate in symbols per second.. CLOVER-II was the result of the work by Ray Petit W7GHM, and HAL Communications, including the PCI-4000, the P38, and the DSP-4100. The mode was released in late 1992 on HAL transceivers. The last HAL unit to carry Clover II was the DSP4100. Bosnia and Ireland were major users of Clover II.

CLOVER-II uses 4 125 HzHertz (Hz), unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second (1 Hz). wide tone-pulse subcarriers that are each offset from the base tone by 8ms, so that every 32ms all four tone pulses transmit their cycle. CLOVER-II uses Phase (PSKPhase-Shift Keying) or Phase-Amplitude (Circular QAMQuadrature Amplitude Modulation) shift keying modulation.

There are 4 500 HzHertz (Hz), unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second (1 Hz). channels defined for CLOVER-II.

Channel 1: 750 HzHertz (Hz), unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second (1 Hz). Center Frequency
Channel 2: 1250 HzHertz (Hz), unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second (1 Hz). Center Frequency
Channel 3: 1750 HzHertz (Hz), unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second (1 Hz). Center Frequency
Channel 4: 2250 HzHertz (Hz), unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second (1 Hz). Center Frequency

Channel 4 is the factory default channel used.

There are 6 main modulation modes.
