Which code would you use to indicate that your communication is poor?

The code that indicates poor communication is 10-1. This code is specifically designated to signify "unable to copy" or "poor reception," which serves as a critical alert for officers communicating over radio or other channels. When an officer uses this code, it conveys to others that they may not be receiving the message clearly or at all, prompting either a repeat of the information or a switch in communication methods to ensure clarity.

The other codes have distinct meanings that are unrelated to communication quality. For instance, 10-2 indicates that the signal is good, while 10-3 refers to stopping transmission of radio traffic. On the other hand, 10-4 simply acknowledges that a message has been received and understood. Each code is tailored to specific communication contexts, making it essential for officers to use them appropriately to ensure efficient information sharing.
