It is the police code for Armed Robbery
10 code
Signals are sent from a police officer's radio to a "Repeater" located on a building somewhere. That repeater will have a signal code. for example... 159.900 is a signal frequency code. When your scanner is set on that code, or any other code, it will receive the transmissions from that code where ever you are that the signal will reach.
the best place to go is radio shack and buy a code book or most radio shacks will give a readout of area codes for free. call them and find out.
These codes are NOT universal across the country and could mean different things in different agencies.
There are handheld bar code scanners, so a handheld bar code scanner is a bar code scanner, but a bar code scanner is not necessarily a handheld scanner. There are bar code scanners in store checkout stands that are fixed, and there may or may not be an associated handheld scanner there for the clerk to use to scan, say, a large bag of dog food that the customer doesn't want to hoist up onto the counter.
