The 10 code for receiving signal poorly is

  1. 10-2

  2. 10-1

  3. 10-10

  4. 10-3

The correct answer is: 10-1

The correct code for receiving a signal poorly is represented by "10-1". This code is part of the ten-codes used in radio communication, particularly among law enforcement and emergency services, to convey information quickly and effectively. "10-1" specifically denotes that the transmission is weak and difficult to receive, indicating a problem with the communication signal. This kind of shorthand is useful in high-pressure scenarios where clarity and brevity are important for effective communication. The other codes have different meanings: "10-2" indicates that the signal is strong and clear, "10-10" refers to the transmission being turned over to another person or party, and "10-3" means to stop transmitting. Each code serves a distinct purpose within the communication system, highlighting the importance of understanding the specific meanings assigned to each code for effective operational communication.
