10 codes are used in CB Radio transmitting to quickly relay information. The most commonly known ones are "10-4", meaning OK, and "What's your 20?" meaning "Where are you?" You can hear some of these codes in the song Convoy.

My favorite is 10-100.

10 codes may vary by location in the U.S. or world - there are regional dialects. Most of the countries that know them are English-speaking. Q codes are more internationally known, for CB, ham radio, and other amateur radio enthusiasts.
