Radios

Let me start this by saying I COMPLETELY understand why the radios were changed. Personally and from my many talks with everyone ive come across the radios limit RP and make the experience of doing anything outside the city/Any teleport a nightmare. Its personally gotten so bad we all do anything up north in groups just so for 40+ minutes you dont have to hear constant beeping and an occasional muffled gargle of static.

anyplace with teleports alone should be radio range exempt at this point as im constantly standing outside a house my friend went into and they cant hear me because the interior is in the Tonga valley.

Would really help a lot imo.

Most people do not like them, and havent even gotten used to them but just stopped complaining. They have caused more issues then stopping people having an "Army" on radio 24/7. Most cases where people can assemble a 5 still happen due to most situations happening in the city and the change for the last couple of months has drastically reduced my desire to do anything out of radio range as it is almost pure isolationism. At the very least from this post make it so I dont want to be in a discord call with people I know IC just so my ears can have a break and im not alone with my thought for MASSIVE amounts time when leaving the city/ even the boarders of it, and instead can embrace and react to the ever evolving world of Echo.

    My honest opinion, this is why we have phones. Use your phone like a normal person. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Not sure if that's a fair assessment considering PD has unlimited range at all times.

      Not to mention pilots do not have the ability to communicate in various situations because the radios are simply incapable of it.

      Especially now that there are several criminal charges for improper/illegal use of aircraft.

      PD would literally have to chase us down in air1 just to communicate with us via the Radio.

      Yes, PD could respond to our /311s to contact us midnight. But that's assuming the aircraft you are looking at is indeed the one you're trying to contact and if the person stole the aircraft or did not report the flight you're not going to be able to do that anyways.

      Cant group call on a phone lol. No one wants to be on a phone call while being out of the city just pointless.

      Is it possible to perhaps have certain/limited amount of frequencies that utilize radio towers or Signal repeaters to extend the range of radios but at the risk of easily sharing a radio frequency with another individual/group?

      For example the pilot/ATC frequency.
