That's the base radio. I think it changed from ##100 to ##010 a few months ago.

Nope... no cars have the ##100 callsign - it's always been the base radio callsign.

010 is the station's "boss" (ranking officer) at the time
100 is the radio that the other officers use whilst at the station.
Sometimes if the "boss" is busy, an officer will just reply as 010.

but 010 and 100 are both the station call signs

Close

100 is what was used for a base radio when the new call signs started. It was then decided to switch to 010. People sometimes forget and use the 100 call sign.

Maybe......and I'm out on a limb here.......it will be for the new digi radios. Maybe a base will have 3 base radios and so will use call signs 010, 011, 012 as each radio will have caller ID......hence the problem keeping the 100 callsign.

Im pretty sure i have heard guys using the 012 etc format already , thanks for the insight Walks. Would a 020 be a traffic base then?
