radio code
Alfa, Bravo, Charlie
A radio code is a system of words, phrases, or numbers used in radio communication to convey information quickly and clearly.
Police and emergency services use radio codes like 10-4 (acknowledged) or 10-20 (location) to standardize transmissions.
The NATO phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie) is a radio code ensuring letters are understood despite static or accents.
Radio codes promote brevity and reduce misunderstanding in noisy or urgent conditions.
