Is it wrong to squelch this channel as soon as you enter the Main Arena?  I actually have it macro'ed to a button so it's quick and easy.......

I usually do, unless it's 3AM EST or later... by then most of the politics arguing drunkards and childish rantings have dissipated.

I have a macro too. I hit it the second I enter the arena.

Usually yes and it's kind of sad to have to. I asked HT about getting a "permanent squelch list" HERE.

Haven't gotten an answer yet but you might keep an eye on (and bump) it until he does...

Squelching Channel 1 is the very first thing I do...even before popping the top off the ole' brewski.

How do you set up that macro?
I need to do that !

Thanks,

David

MY feelings exactly!

".squelch 1" is always the first thing I type upon entering the arena, and occasionally, when things get really tough, I'd love to have the ability to mute the range channel as well.

Make sure that you have the open channel set to Channel 1 on the radio buffer.

Just get 5 miles away from the offending range VOX channel user.  I guess I have been real lucky...  Only had a problem once, and that was because someone had "talk" programmed to their stick and the stick was holding the button down constantly transmitting their breathing.

I don't necessarily squelch channel 1 as soon as I enter the arena, but I will always have it squelched before I take off the first time; there is already enough traffic on the country, range, and squad channels, and I don't need to have to try to filter out useful messages from all the text messages for my country, much less the megatons of fewmets that fill channel 1.

Incase you've missed it, HT has stated on more than one occasion that a permanate squelch list isn't the fix to arena behavior that he wants.

Although he didn't go into details as to why or what, the general impression I got was that the arena behavior is a problem but a perm squelch isn't going to be his solution since it doesn't stop it.

Rgr that MrLars. Appreciate the reply, I'll not wait for an answer. Seems a shame tho... as there is NO other solution. Moderators and 'bad words' filters will never work well. With the list you could have all those offensive to you on it and still listen/chat on Ch 1 without the BS. The squelch list would work for Voice as well so that the range Ch problem would be fixed too. There's no other way to have both that I can think of, can you?
