This guide will take you through setting up short-range (SR), long-range (LR), and additional channels. One radio will be used for the pictures but it will apply to all other radios you will use in operations.
Short Range
Short-range radio is the main radio that most non-leadership roles will use during an operation.
Overview of the Radio

Basic Set-up
To bring up the radio press CTRL + P. To set up a radio simply highlight the text in the Current Frequency Slot (#2) and delete or type in your frequency of choice (set by Squad-lead or Commander) and then press Set Frequency (#4). Your radio should be set up, if you are not sure if it is working, hail your squad members (by pressing Caps Lock) over the radio to ask if you can be heard.
Advanced Set-up
This part builds off of the basic setup above, so this will continue from where the basic setup ends. After your radio is set up you can change the volume (#1) by clicking the black switch at the top. You can also change which ear or ears you want to hear the radio through with the Stereo Settings (#9) with the choices of left, right, or both ears. Last is the Speakers (#7) and you will more than likely never turn this on since it will annoy your squad members.
Short Range Additional Channels
Setting additional channels while confusing to some is relatively simple. This next example will help you walk through this process.
In this example, the main squad radio will be 220.00 while your team net radio is on 220.1 Set your main radio channel (C1) to 220.1 Go to the next channel by pressing next channel (#5) Set your second radio channel (C2) to 220 Press Set Additional Channels button (#8) This will switch you from C2 (to the left of the 220) to A2 Press the Previous Channel button (#6) to return to your main C1 Test out the additional channel by pressing the default button of T
Long Range
This is the radio Commanders, Squad-leaders, and Vehicle elements will use to talk over a large distance. To bring up your long-range radio press ALT + P. Long-range and Short-range radios are similar in setting up so follow the above section for basic set-up or setting up additional long-range channels.
