Echo means E, Bravo means B, its a code that the words begin with the correct letters, such as Y Yankee, but the words cannot be mistaken for each other as b and p could be when talking over a radio with imperfect reception, allows tham to accurately transmit say the letters of a car they are chasing, or have found so they can get the name etc of the owner, and for spelling out difficult to understand, or vey important words.

Answer 4

It is the phonetic alphabet. This is used as an aid in spelling a name or street, as sometimes radio transmissions are not clear, and a word may not sound the same as it is spelled. Also some names may have two or more different spellings, so it becomes easier for identification purposes.

Answer 5

Instead of saying "E, L, B", they use the phonetic saying of the words
"A = Alpha,
B = Bravo,
C= Charlie,
D= Delta,
E=Echo,
F=Foxtrot,
G=Golf,
H=Hotel,
I=India,
J=Juliet,
K=Kilo
L=Lima
M=Mike
N=November
O=Oscar
P=Papa
Q=Quebec
R=Romeo
S=Sierra
T=Tango
U=Uniform
V=Victor
W=Whiskey
X=X Ray
Y=Yankee
Z=Zulu

Also phonetic pronunciation for numbers as well:
0 = say as (Zee row)
1 = say as (Wun)
2 = (Too)
3 = Tree
4 = (Fow er)

Answer 6

Hi
they are using the phonetic Alphabet, for example if they are requiring information on a car licence plate they would use this Alphabet, like E for Echo, C For Charlie.
or to use my name for another example it would go like this. Hotel, Echo, Lema, Echo, Norman, this would spell Helen.

I guess it makes lt easy for them to understand therefore they are less likely to make a mistake

B - Bravo
C - Charlie
