RADIO COMMUNICATIONS
RADIO COMMUNICATIONS
There are two optional modes of using the radio that depend on the "EASY COMMUNICATION"
OPTION under the GAMEPLAY tab.
The radio communications window is accessed by separate keys depend of difficulty radio settings.
Upon doing so, the list of radio command recipients is displayed along with the function (Fx) key
required to view its sub-command window.
Easy Communication is enabled
The radio communications window is accessed by a press of the [\] forward slash key (this is for US
keyboards, other language keyboards may vary). After the command selection the radio or
interphone will be selected (if required) and tuned (if required) automatically. "AUTO" caption that
will indicate radio auto-selection. Also [\] key will close radio command menu.
When the radio menu is displayed, recipients are color-coded as follows:
Recipients on which at least one of the radios is tuned to is colored white.
Recipients on which at least one of the radios can be tuned to but is not currently on the correct
frequency is colored gray.
Recipients that cannot be contacted due to range or terrain masking / earth curvature are colored
black.
Each will also have their modulation / frequency listed. When you select a recipient, the appropriate
radio will automatically be tuned to communicate with the selected recipient.
After a recipient has been selected to communicate with, the appropriate radio will be automatically
tuned to the correct frequency.
Easy Communication is not enabled
Player should use Push To Transmit (PTT) button [RAlt-\] to open radio command panel. PPT button
will open and close radio communication window for current radio.
When recipients are displayed, there is no color-coding of availability and no listing of their
modulation / frequency. This is the more realistic mode and requires you to know the correct
modulation / frequencies for each recipient and you must manually enter the frequencies on the
correct radio.
