RADIO CODES/ PHONETICS

# PASSWORDS OR CALLSIGNS
Passwords and callsigns serve as identifiers for individuals or entities in various communication
systems.

u Passwords: Secret phrases or strings used to authenticate users, typically in digital s,ystems.
u Callsigns: Unique identifiers assigned to individuals, vehicles, or organizations, often used in
radio communication.
Examples:
1. Password: "Tr0ub4d3!" (a strong, unique password)
2. Callsign: "Alpha-12" (a unique identifier for a radio operator)

# RADIO NET DIAGRAM


A radio net diagram illustrates the structure and organization of a radio communication network. It
typically includes:

u Nodes or stations representing participants


u Lines or connections showing communication links
u Net control or management elements
Examples:
A simple radio net diagram might look like this:

+---------------+
| Net Control |
+---------------+
|
|
v
+---------------+---------------+---------------+
| Station 1 | Station 2 | Station 3 |
| (Alpha-1) | (Alpha-2) | (Alpha-3) |
+---------------+---------------+---------------+

In this example, Net Control is the central authority managing the radio network, and Station 1,
2, and 3 are individual radio operators with their respective callsigns.

# AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM
An authentication system verifies the identity of users, devices, or entities attempting to access a
secured system or resource. Common authentication methods include:

u Passwords or passphrases
u Biometric authentication (e.g., fingerprints, facial recognition)
u Tokens or smart cards
u Two-factor or multi-factor authentication

Examples:
1. Username: Enter "john_doe"
2. Password: Enter "P@ssw0rd"
3. Two-Factor Authentication: Enter a verification code sent to your phone or email

If the username, password, and verification code match, the system grants access. Otherwise, it
denies access and may prompt the user to try again.
Ten codes, also known as 10-codes,
These are a standardized system of numeric codes used for radio communication,
particularly in emergency services, transportation, and military contexts. Here's a brief guide on
how to use ten codes:

# Basic Principles
1. Clear and concise communication: Use simple language and avoid ambiguity.
2. Standardized codes: Familiarize yourself with the 10-code system to ensure accurate
communication.
3. Radio etiquette: Follow proper radio protocols, such as identifying yourself and your location.

# Common Ten Codes


Here are some frequently used 10-codes:

1. 10-1: Receiving poorly


2. 10-4: Message received, understood
3. 10-7: Out of service
4. 10-8: In service, subject to call
5. 10-9: Repeat message m
6. 10-13: Advise weather and road conditions
7. 10-20: My location is?.... or What’s your location?
8. 10-28: Identify your station
9. 10-32: I’ll give you a radio check
10. 10-62: Unable to copy, use phone

# Example Usage
Here's an example conversation using 10-codes:

Dispatcher: "Unit 12, 10-20?" (asking for location)


Unit 12: "10-4, I'm at Main and Oak" (message received, location provided)
Dispatcher: "10-7, Unit 12" (Unit 12 is out of service)
Unit 12: "10-8, I'm back in service" (Unit 12 is back in service)

# Important Notes
1. Variations: Different organizations or regions might use modified or additional 10-codes.
2. Training: Familiarize yourself with the specific 10-code system used in your context.
3. Clear communication: Always prioritize clear and concise communication, using 10-codes as a
supplement, not a replacement.
