French radio communication language

Question

What are the words and phrases used in french for communicating over radio? I found this link but it is not quite what I'm looking for. For example in English phrases like:

copy that / roger that
over (and out)
do you read me

are commonly heard. Do they have French equivalents? What other French phrases are used over radio?

over and out -> Terminé !
do you read me? -> Est-ce que vous me recevez ? or Essai radio !
yes/no -> Affirmatif / Négatif

Is there a link where I might learn more? Is there a book or a movie where I could see these phrases used? – simple_code Nov 15 '15 at 16:56

Here is a real life retranscription of the police radio transmissions during the 9/21 2001 Toulouse explosion (AZF). v921.net/DOCUMENTS/2001-09-21%20Radio%20Police%20Nationale.html – jlliagre Nov 17 '15 at 15:59

Perhaps of interest: the NATO phonetic alphabet is intentionally multilingual (C is CHAR-LEE or SHAR-LEE, U is YOU-NEE-FORM or OO-NEE-FORM). – user3486184 Jan 30 '18 at 22:49
