By default, the radio display remains visible on-screen at all times. Users can toggle focus on the radio, enabling interaction when needed and un-focusing when done.
Scanning a radio channel allows users to hear all transmissions, even if they are not actively transmitting on that channel. However, transmissions on the primary channel (the one you are actively talking on) will take priority, muting transmissions from scanned channels whenever someone speaks on the primary channel.
Users can also create a scan list to swap between multiple scanned channels at once.
Custom Scan Lists
Scan Lists
Users can scan one or more channels to listen without transmitting. For monitoring multiple channels, "Scan Lists" let users group channels and easily switch between them.
The adjustment amount is customizable in the settings menu.
Adjust Volume With Sirens
Automatic Volume Increase w/Sirens
When in-game, turning on your sirens will increase your overall radio volume by the configured amount. Turning your sirens back off will lower the volume back down.
For communities not using LVC, the functionality will fall back to a FiveM native that will trigger the functionality if either lights or sirens are activated.
