Radio Acronyms 4000+ (Always under construction) By Hugh Stegman NV6H At end of file: Police/CB 10-codes Other police codes Computer networking standards [~] = not an acronym, just looks like one Radiospeak, techspeak, milspeak, NASAspeak, and compuspeak all developed for spoken, sent, or stored brevity. As Larry Van Horn is always noting, acronyms and abbreviations don't always save all that much space in written text.
