The 10 codes, as short as they

when asking someone their location, rather than
saying 10-20, it is shortened to "what's
your 20?" This is just a few of the more
common ones.
10-1 Receiving Poorly "you're
a bit 10-1"
10-4 Message received
10-7 Out of Service, or going off air.
10-8 In Service, back on air
10-9 Please repeat "Give me a nine on that?"
10-10 Transmission Completed, standing by
10-20 Location, "What's your 20?"
10-100 Toilet break, "I'm going 10-100"
