It means an emphasis on an agreement. In other words, a strong agreement to something can be conveyed using this phrase. Many of you might have already used the CB code.
But I believe it was not used correctly. The misinterpretation of the ten four code is very common. You can find other commonly used CB radio codes here. The point of the 10 code is to convey a very precise meaning without ambiguity, especially under poor signal conditions, where a spoken instruction could be difficult to make out.
I believe it originated with US police use, though the exact meaning assigned to codes varies: Police 10 Codes. CB usage also varies, with new codes being added and existing ones changed according to local customary use. In the s, radio technology was still relatively new and limited. The ten-codes were invented to communicate information quickly and clearly.
The use of the number 10 before all of the codes was another workaround. It took a split second for the motor-generator in the radios to warm up, and so the first syllables of a radio transmission were often lost. The 10 was used as a placeholder to give the motor-generator time to speed up enough to hear the second part of the code. These handy codes were quickly adopted by others communicating via radio, such as CB Citizen Band radio enthusiasts and truckers.

After several instances of inter-agency communication problems, the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency FEMA discouraged the use of ten-codes and today the federal government recommends they be replaced with plain, everyday language. Mayday is an international code word used to signal life-threatening emergencies. He was given the task of coming up with a unique and easily understandable emergency code word.
Because it is an emergency signal, there are plenty of rules governing the use and format of a mayday call. A mayday call can only be made when life or craft is in imminent danger of death or destruction and, as with fake calls, fake mayday calls are considered serious crimes. In the U. True friendships are made where individuals may never meet in real life. As a code, it denotes acknowledgment of a previous statement.
The confluence of the two statements creates a deliberately ironic expression that is at once officious and informal. The Ten-codes officially the Ten Signals are used by American police departments for both clarity and brevity in radio communications. They were originally developed beginning in , and have been both revised and extended several times since. Ten-four is a universal acknowledgment code as in OK , going back to the original development of the code, and indicates both receipt and acknowledgment of the prior message.
With the advent of CB radio for civilian use, many of the 10 codes were adopted by CB users and later somewhat modified by popular usage. Please remember that CB is an open channel environment where several people may be on the channel simultaneously.
