Range Channel

[Wotan]

Could you please make Squad/Tuned channel bias over range range.

For instance when one guy is talking over squad/tuned channel please have range "cut off" . This would only effect the folks on squad channel or the channel they have are tuned to.

Right now theres so much irrelevent (at least to me) non-sense over range that its difficult to communicate with squaddies.

I know you dont want to allow range to be squelched but absent that is it possible to bias squad/tuned vox channels?

After 5 min of listening to some guy talk about a drawer hose I have about had it with range channel.

Yep, as it stands I've got a /.squelch macro, but Wotan's idea would save me some hassle.

You couldn't voice squelch him after a minute or two?

isnt that what AH1 did? at least for me, range would be compressed out, kind of like "ducking" in recording when a squaddie tuned to our vox channel keyed up.


is it the opposite in AHII now?

Actually it was more then one guy in the conversation.

It sounded like the cast of Deliverance got together to talk about "wursher s" and such.

"Ya'll sher gots a purty mouth..."

The next sortie I squelched everyone on the range list. The thing is the same "folk" think range channel is the "check 6" channel. Half of them sound like that dude from king of the hill "Boomhauer" has swallowed his mic. They seem to have forgotten all about the "check 6" button.

That's because there's generally 3 or more friendly cons near the guy who needs his six checked in most furball situations and they all get tagged first more often than not. This leads to the habit of using manual check sixes in all situations. If you don't like the way the guy sounds, yeah ... squelch away.

As far as range channel chat sessions are concerned ... didja ever think of politely asking the "annoying as hell" range chatters to leave range channel open so you could only be annoyed by check six calls?

If I could get a word in I would.

I have the check 6 button mapped to me stick. It doesn’t take any time to cycle through to warn some one.

Not every one speaks English anyway.

But this thread isn't about you. I just asked a simple question about biasing squad/tuned channel over range.

You haven’t mentioned the topic once. If you are just looking for someone to talk to then there's 4 guys in the CT that are just bored enough to chat it up.

You're upset that other players chat on range. You want HT to code squad channel to over-ride range channel. Hey, I'm with ya all the way. Don't get your panties in a wad. I've given you more than one reasonable suggestion here to deal with it until you get your desperate wish. All you're doing is finding additional excuses to whine about it (the way other people talk annoys me - why can't they use the check six button?!). Geez.

[Wotan]

You haven't suggested any thing on topic. When theres a lot of chatter on range the folks on squad / tuned channels can't communicate.

As I said you must be lonely and need some one talk to...

Either that or the Deliverance reference hit close to home.

Or a little of both?

Everything I suggested was on topic. Whether you found it practical for your needs may be another matter. As is your opinion of how lonely I am or my personal like/dislike for your Deliverance analogy ... which looks more like I accidently touched a raw nerve with ya and you're projectin' a bit there, partner.

[Wotan]

We can make the thread about you if you want....

[Arlo]

Seems more what YOU want. Here's a more recent pic for you to worship (a few more pounds ... a bit less hairline ... a smirk for ya):

[moot]

who cares?


back to the topic,
A priority value for each channel would be great.
