Radio VOIP: Does it work?

[Dogoo Slayer]

In patch 41.66 it was said that VOIP should work through radios, but for some reason it isn't working and only shows text and doesnt transmit voice.
Can anyone tell me if radio VOIP actually works? Is there some setting i can't find to turn it on?

Me and my friend were tuned into the same frequency and our proximity voice chat was working, but not with the radios. Radio was turned on, same frequency, mic on, in the off-hand and still nothing. Only text.

EDIT: Everyting works fine. The issue was either my friend's VOIP options or something related to admin settings (ghost and invisible mode probably)

It should work fine, what patch are you playing on? And are you far enough from your friend?

Latest stable patch (41.73). We're just across the street and only can hear distant proximity VOIP. As soon as I'm getting far enough, i just stop hearing him, but the text chat still works

It's working fine for me on the latest patch, vanilla, no mods.

You both have to equip it on secondary. It doesn't work when you holster it on your belt (wich could actually be a feature, at least for listening).

You can also "place" radios on several spots inside a building, leaving it on, to have constant communication with your teammates. We tested this and it works, the range is about 7-10 meters more or less. (don't remember tile size or other PZ measurement for distances).

If the proximity VOIP works and you can talk when being close, then radios should, at least that's my case. Check if there is any mod conflict or maybe one of you is doing something wrong (frecuency, holstering the radio, not equipping it, deactivated the mic)

We do have a mod "Keep that radio on!" and planning to add "Reduced Weitght Walkie Talkie"

Ah, now you have a lead to make a workaround, if it works vanilla then it must be that mod/ mods.

Try another server without mods that handle or modifies the "radio" files...

Okay, it worked without any mods, but i tested it with another friend.

I'll check it again with someone else and then turn on the mod. Maybe it was a problem on his side...

Works with "Keep that radio on!" too. I guess it was some weird bug related to admin...
