What is Ten Four?
1.
A code used by CB owners possibly since the dawn of amateur radio, the code 10-4 simply means "Message received". Since the 70s the code system have been popular in law-enforcement circles then evolved to what it is today. Nowadays when people use these codes, they are mostly refering to the police radio code system, which is more detailed then its original version, so I'am only listing the police code system here rather than the out dated CB code version.
Please note that these code vary from one country to another or even used differntly in differnt state/province in the same country
