* If a leadership role asks who needs ammo, please '''do not''' reply with "not me" | * ''All'' radios in Arma are what is called "half-duplex". In simple terms, this means it is not possible for 2 people to transmit on the same frequency at the same time. If someone is currently speaking and another person attempts to transmit, nothing will happen. With this in mind, radio messages should ''generally speaking'' be brief.<ref>This is less-so important on the inter-squad radio (i.e AN/PRC-343) and becomes progressively more important higher in the leadership chain you are. This is because leadership tends to be directly correlated with access to radios with longer ranges, intended for speaking with other ''full squads'' or some kind of command element, depending on player count.</ref> | ||

* Some operations ''may'' have limited to no radio use. A popular historical period for many members, both in Arma and generally, is World War II, among other pre-modern periods. In such situations, it is useful to ''parrot'' {{Emdash}} that is, repeat out loud {{Emdash}} orders given by superiors. This way it is more likely the entire element will hear and be made aware of the order. | * Some operations ''may'' have limited to no radio use.

If you click the handle an animation will play and you will be shown the channel block knob. Here you can change the block of channels used. By default, your 343 will be on block 1. Block 1 has 16 channels which directly correlate to the 16 possible options on the channel knob. If you switch to block 2, this creates an additional 16 channels. In other words, channel 2 on block 1 is not the same as channel 2 on block 2, and thus 2 different squads could have the same setting on the channel knob but have isolated frequencies. | If you click the handle an animation will play and you will be shown the channel block knob.
