10 code for transmission is poor

10-2
10-1
10-6
10-33

The correct answer is: 10-1

In radio communication, especially among security personnel and emergency services, a numeric code system known as the 10-code or ten-code is commonly used. The purpose of this code system is to offer a concise, standardized way of expressing common phrases or statuses. Every specific number corresponds to a particular situation or communication status. In the context of this question, 10-1 is the correct answer because, in the standard 10-code system, 10-1 stands for 'Transmission is poor' or 'Receiving poorly.' It is used when the message being communicated is not clear due to interference, weak signal, or any other issue affecting the quality of the radio transmission. This function is crucial for security guards to maintain effective communication, especially in situations where clarity and quick response time are critical.
