turn off 200 but keep salutes
« on: July 21, 2026, 01:29:59 PM »
Is this possible? 

It's wall to wall politics on 200, but when I switch to country channel, I lose system messages and salutes.

I do this but I don’t know how exactly. On the first tab I have country as the main and then range and privates for the rest. On my second tab, my main chat is set to all I think and then you right click on it to pick channels and you just don’t click 200.

It’s something like that or so I’m sure someone with more know how can chime in. All I see are salutes and it’s calming for sure lol.

I forgot how to configure those.  I'll look into it, thanks.

When you hit the slash key to open the radio bar, just check to make sure none of the channels are tuned to 200 and your good. System messages should still come up on the text window with the local and tuned channels.

Right clicking om the tabs give you options on how many text windows and what is displayed on them. I use 2

You can also run a squelch script with a list of names to squelch

If whatever someone's saying is annoying you, squelch early squelch often.

Also, it's been a while since I thought about it, but .s salutes are not actually on 200 are they?  They're on the admin only channel or something?  Don't think that can be turned off?

It’s very much possible and much better than messing with squelches and scripts.

I just never use 200 but many find it amusing.  You can keep 200 just have a separate salute only channel.  No chat at all just the ability to salute a well played moment by an opposing countryman.

Seems to me that the kill spam you can't turn off would be more annoying. I've enjoyed quite a few conversations on 200 over the years even when I was not in them. It seems now that people get "triggered" by things that would have just gotten an eye roll 20 years ago.

I wasn't at all "triggered", but for an hour straight, the text bar was filled with ranting from both sides and still no minds have been changed.  Politics ruin everything and it has infested everything.  It's exhausting.

At least the kill spam as you call it, has something to do with the game.

I wasn't attacking you. No need to get defensive.

I was talking about the people on 200 discussing politics.

Shoot.  I checked tonight.  I think .s and .rs go on channel 1, and it's tied to the same checkbox as 200.  That's a shame. (could swear it didn't used to be that way, but my memory...  :old:)

edit: No wait, you should be able to detune 200 and have the .s and .rs still work because they're on channel 1.

If you detune 200 and text to 200 it still goes through, you just don’t read it, but those tuned to 200 do.
