Radio
The Radio is a convenient way for personnel to consult each other and warn about dangers. Similarly to talking in the 'Local', 'Whisper', and 'Emote' texts, you can talk in the Radio text, which is green in the chat box. The common radio can be seen by everyone wearing a headset, and is broadcasted across the entire station. There are also department specific radio channels, allowing departments to communicate privately with each other.
Using the Radio
To use the radio press the "T" key and type ";" for the common radio. If you want to talk on a departmental radio, type ":" and the letter that corresponds to the department you want to talk to.
| Department | Radio Channel |
|---|---|
| Service | :v |
| Cargo | :u |
| Engineering | :e |
| Security | :s |
| Medical | :m |
| Science | :n |
| Command | :c |
| Syndicate | :t |
| CentCom | :y |
You can only talk on channels your headset has encryption keys for. You can examine your headset to see what department channels your radio has installed.
