Radio Operations

The Short-Range Etiquette
The Short Range Radio is for communications inside a Squad, Vehicle or Asset. The Frequencies are numbered by Squad. Should there be - for example - two Armor Assets, the Frequency is augmented to resemble this. So Vehicle 1-1 would be on 191 and Vehicle 1-2 would be on 192. This is to be coordinated by the Vehicle-Commanders. Same Counts for Helicopters.
 * Alpha - 110
 * Bravo - 120
 * Charlie - 130
 * Delta - 140
 * Platoon - 170
 * Air - 180
 * Armor - 190

Communications on the Short-Range are mainly for Battle-Coms. This means that you are recommended to use it to call out enemies, relay movement-changes and organize other tactical things. It is up to your Squadlead to allow casual conversation over the Short-Range, but if he tells you to clear the com's, you are to clear them.

The Long-Range Etiquette
The Long-Range Radio is for communications between Squads, Assets and Platoon-Commanders. The Frequencies are Split into Three Groups. This means, every Squadlead and 2iC has their Long-Range Radio tuned into 69. Only the Platoon's RTO and the Vehicle Crew are permitted to use 67 and only the JTAC and Aircraft Crew are permitted to use 68.
 * Infantry-Network - 69
 * Aircraft-Network - 68
 * Armor-Network - 67

There is no casual Chatter to be on any Long-Range Network. It is for important communications only. When trying to relay a message to another Squad, Platoon or Asset, you have to follow a certain Protocol. This seems more complicated then it really is. You start naming the Callsign of whom you are trying to reach, followed by your own Callsign and 'Message. Over.'

example: "Brave, this is Alpha, Message Over."

From here it is onto Bravo to respond to your call:

example: "This is Bravo, Send your Message."

Should you be busy and not able to respond to the Coms right away, giving an estimate time in Mike's (Minutes)

example: "This is Bravo, give me X Mikes"

Once you are free to receive the Message, call up Alpha in the same way they called you, once they return your communications, ask them to send their last message.

Should you ever have URGENT messages to anyone and people are already talking on the Long-Range, you can force the Communications to be suppressed, by calling "BREAK BREAK BREAK". This is the signal to end all Coms. This means, if you are talking and hear this called out: End your Traffic immediately. You can finish the transmission after the BREAK-Coms have ended.

Urgent Coms always overwrite Etiquette. Meaning, if you see a BMP rolling up on Alpha that is going to Blindside them if you don't act fast, feel free to send immediately. "Alpha, there is a BMP to your East, close!" keep it fast and concise, but lives are more important then you sticking by the Etiquette.
