To learn how to use the radio, read the radio help guide (http://www.hitechcreations.com/ahhelp/radio.html).

You can also read the entire help guide to help you learn how to play the game.  It's truely recommended that you read the help guide before going into the Main Arena for the first time.  This way you can spend more time having fun than asking how to play the game over the radio.

When you press /, you'll notice a little text bar will pop up showing the various radio commands.  For example, / will transmit text only to your countrymen.  Shift and / will transmit to everybody, Cntl and / will transmit to countrymen in your vicinity, and Alt and / will transmit to your squadron or your mission.  You can change the various commands by using your mouse to click in each radio box and selecting a different "transmitter", so that Cntrl / will send to mission, Alt / will transmit to countrymen in your vicinity, and so forth.

To bale out, press "Enter" three times.  I remapped my bale-out key to "E" - as in "Eject! Eject! Eject!".  After you eject, you'll need to open your parachute by pulling the cord with "O" for "open parachute".

I'd suggest switching bailout key to  "U" or somethingelse that is used less frequently then enter.  Otherwise you'll accidentally bail while trying to use radio.

I changed mine to Shift-Enter x 3 after accidentally bailing several times.

As for the radio, there is an excellent guide to be found here (http://www.netaces.org/ahradio/radio.html#title) at netaces.org.  :)

You aren't the only one.  That's why I re-mapped mine to "E" three times. :p
