Ronillon: /* Distress signal */ '''Note:''' Because '''Distress signal''' is considered a command, do not use '''Shift + Enter''' like for normal radio message. Use just '''Enter''' instead.

-'''Radios''' are items that will make you able to communicate with other players tuned on the same channel as yours.
+'''Radios''' allow in-game text communication between characters tuned to the same channel.
 == Uses ==
-Radio is the only in-game way to communicate with other players that are not in the same location as yours. Basically, an unlimited number of players can share one radio channel. Before [[OBT 3]] in August, 2009, a lot of teams were not using voice chat software (such as Mumble, Teamspeak or Ventrilo) and were then using the radio quite often, when visual contact could not be established between the allied players. By now, radio is still used by a lot of players and teams that can't afford to communicate only with a voice chat software.

Even now, radios are still used by a lot of players and teams along with voice chat software and [[IRC]].

+In the radio settings menu, you can change the channel, and adjust the range at which your radio is able to transmit and receive messages. You can also disable transmitting and receiving functions independently.
-The channels numbers can be set between 0 and 65536. They are not secured, so if you know the channel number used by another player you can connect on it and listen to it easily, though the chances of that happening randomly are extremely low. If you die with an active radio in your hand, the player that will loot your radio will still have your current channel set on it. Be careful not to die with the right channel set in your radio if you don't want it to be discovered.
+The channels numbers can be set between 0 and 65536. They are not secured, so if you know the channel number used by another player you can tune in and listen easily, though the chances of that happening randomly are extremely low. When you die with a radio, the player who loots you will see the channel you last used. Be careful to change channels when this happens.
-Radios found in encounters will have their frequencies set to 0-10 , and have their reception turned off. The 0 channel is used by players as world chat.
+Radios found in encounters will have their frequencies set to 0-10 , and have their reception turned off, but transmission turned on. So when you find a radio, you should always check to see if you're transmitting on it and adjust it accordingly. The 0 channel is used by players as world chat.
 == Speaking with a radio ==
-Once you are connected on a channel, and your friends are connected to it too, you can talk to them by writing in the chat bar and then by pressing the Enter key while pressing the Shift key as well. Or you can use a prefix '''/r''' (/r message to radio) and press Enter. Your sentence will be redirected to radio and not displayed in the general chat. However, speaking in the radio will make you [[Shortcuts|whisper]] while sending your message in the radio channel. You won't whisper if you only ''receive'' a radio message.

 To be able to speak on a radio, you must have it in turned on and in your inventory or one of your hands.
