A subset \(C\) of \(F^n\) is a uniquely decodable (UD) code if, for every \(v\in F^n\), there exists a unique \(c\in C\) such that \(d(v,C)=d(v,c)\). The structure of UD codes is studied. All linear UD codes of covering radius not more than 2 are determined. It is proven that a linear UD code with covering radius 2 is either the trivial \([5,1,5]\) repetition code or the product of two Hamming codes. Special perfect subcodes of a linear UD code are considered. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0918.00043].
