USING COMMON 10-
CODES
Citizen’s band operators have largely
adopted the 10-codes for standard
questions and answers. Their use
permits faster communication and
helps prevent misunderstanding in
noisy areas.
This table lists the codes adopted by
the Associated Public Safety Com-
munications Officers (APCO).
Note: Although this table lists the 10-
codes’ meanings in the form of a
statement, they can also be phrased
as questions (10-6: Are you busy?,
10-20: What is your location?).
