Actually, trfour, Al's right. For some reason, law enforcement agencies in NH use a slight variation of the "10-codes" used elsewhere. In NH, 10-4 means "Please repeat message", and 10-5 means "Message received". I don't know if those are the only differences or not.
It took me by surprise when I first started scanning in NH, when I began to hear "10-5" used in place of what, in my experience, had always been "10-4". I even remember back to the TV show "Highway Patrol" where Broderick Crawford's character Dan Mathews would constantly be saying "10-4" on the radio to indicate "message received". (Guess I've really dated myself now!)
I'll be 10-79.
