A new player doesn't come tuned to ch 200, which currently is the o ly way a guy on the opposite side would be able to communicate with them. We also can no longer PM the other side, because instead of dealing with a couple problem people, HT decided to take it away for good. I think that choice took a lot of out of the community aspect of the game.
Yeah, that's true. And I know even me - having played for years previously, when someone would pm me in game I wouldn't know how to tune to them to answer them back.
I think it would be cool if the private radio channel would auto-tune to the person who calls you. Or maybe just a popup that askes if you would like to tune to them and then a way to click and tune to them.
I think the radio channels can be confusing for new players.
