What does 10-3 mean?

Explanation:
Stop transmitting or go to standby. When you hear this, the radio channel needs to be cleared so others can use it or so you can listen for new instructions. It’s used to make room for priority traffic or to let a supervisor speak. The idea is to pause your transmission and either resume later or stay muted while you wait. For comparison, being in service means you’re available to respond, the location code tells where you are, and the repeat code asks someone to repeat the last transmission.
