Title: Time for ".squelch 2"?
Post by: popeye on August 27, 2002, 12:52:49 PM
Lotta players online during peak hours, makes for a ton of readio traffic -- much of which doesn't apply to the "local" situation.  Might be useful to be able to squelch channel 2, and rely on the "room" channel, and the "range" voice channel.

Channel 3 sucks, it is not what it seems to be.

Channel 3 is not a range channel, like the voice range channel. Channel 3 can not be read by all that are listed in the voice range channel list, although it uses the same color.

What we need is either a text range channel (a bit larger range than voice range please) or a sector channel.

IMO it would be great to at least have the option of squelching whatever, and whomever I want to. I sometimes drive some of my squadmembers nuts when I type instead of talking. I find that there is way too much chatter on voice channels for my taste. Some use it to call out tactical info and check 6 etc...appropriate use but...many more will get on a CH and cuss, and gossip etc; and I can't shut the damn thing off. If my kids are in the room or nearby, I hafta turn the sound down on my PC so they can't hear the words.

I gotta agree - we need to be able to squelch any channel. As far as I'm concerned, not being able to squelch the range channel and channel 2 is a major problem. As a matter of fact, I think going so far as to make channel 2 useable only from the tower would add to game playability too.

Just my $0.02

I agree with all of the above, but seriously doubt it will ever happen.  We have been asking for permasquelch for quite some time now with absolutely no response whatsoever from HTC (to my knowledge).
