are you saying you would not hear the aircraft while in the GV?
i guess i dont get it.
have a 3rd tunable vox, call them a b and c.
right now a is tuned, b open range, and c would be similar object (plane to plane / GV to GV)... not a bad idea, but what would be in place to stop the chatters from clogging that channel too.
also what would squelch what?
in the scenario above you sometimes need to hear the people in planes call out GV's they spot. if you hear some then you hear all. you would still be clogged with their chat, just would have another channel to key up on. but like i said, what would squelch what? right now i believe squad / tuned keys up over range (or at least it was like that in AH 1). this new channel, would it be a higher priorty than range?
i always have been in favor of more VOX channels, but the more i look at the situation, all i see is headaches for those involved.
the only real suggestion i thought of is make both radios tunable.
make a radio XI on the text bar, with a drop down list. you can either put a number in there, or "range"
that would solve a myriad of problems, like the option to squelch range, with kids playing and stuff, and a second vox for joint operations of some sort. 1 way to designate if the person is tuned range or not is possibly like the current method. their icon changes color. OR maybe add's a R or P before or after their name in the icon. R = range P = private make that letter always white or something.
oh well those are my thoughts,.
