Some organizations and municipalities also use other codes in addition to the ten-codes. An example is the California Highway Patrol 's use of Eleven-code s. HISTORIC OVERVIEW Ten-codes were adapted for use by CB Radio enthusiasts before its pop culture explosion in the late 1970s , thus many of the phrases, such as 10-4 and "what's your twenty" have entered everyday use in the English language. A popular fictional account of ten-codes in use among CB-communicating Trucker s may be heard in the 1978 movie '' Convoy ''. In the fall of 2005, responding to inter-organisational communication problems during the rescue operations after Hurricane Katrina , The United States Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) discouraged the use of ten-codes and other codes due to their high variability in meaning (see the November 2005 articles in External links, below). LIST OF 10-CODES The following list, given in ascending order and grouped by decade, illustrates the current usage of various 10-codes (note the disclaimer immediately above the list). Only a handful of them are standardized. Some are fairly consistent, while others (such as 10-40) can have completely different meanings, many of which are not listed here. Presentation:
Disclaimer: The list is intended to show the most common codes and help provide an estimate of what a code's definition is. A search for local ten-code tables should be performed first before using the list. 10-0s 10-10s 10-20s 10-30s 10-40s 10-50s 10-60s 10-70s 10-80s 10-90s 10-100s and up SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
