WRYS709 Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 1 hour ago, UncleYoda said: A) 10-4 is not = CB. Firemen and police who are new to HAM are are the ones I hear using it the most. And they know the feelings about it, but it's hard to break habits. Tradition, no matter how entrenched, is not enforceable on others. The regs are all that count. Most HAMs do not understand this and they are in the wrong. Those of us Baby Boomers first were exposed to 10-4 when Broderick Crawford used it on the classic 1950s TV series: Highway Patrol!

WRZM228 Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 Looks like there are lots of changes from the original 10 code to begin with. I guess its no different from any languages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie aka Frog: Would a cop, taking a leak on the side of the road interest you? Bandit: Yes, it would! He's taking a 10-100.

WRPG745 Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Hey if 10 codes work with your coms, it works and isn't dumb. Lol, I have to admit when someone uses a 10 code other than 10-4 or 10-100, I have no idea what they mean. (I also assume they are of a certain age or might be tactical LARPing.) If you use them, you be you, use 10 codes, wear 5.11, have fun... there's room for all! Sshannon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we did use a few, but we cut it down. Town Watch Ten Codes 10-4 Yes or Copy 10-7 Out of Service 10-8 In Service 10-20 Location 10-33 Emergency 10-100 Break 10 to 15 minutes 10-Double 100 END OF TOUR Philadelphia Police Department & Town Watch Codes 5292 - Request For ME Deceased Person FLASH - Information about Suspect or Suspects Local - Fire Activity Fire Department Requested NAT - Necessary Action Taken RTF - Report to Follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
