Line 59:

After you’ve clicked Add, a new empty key setup appears. For Function, choose Whisper. After you chose Whisper, click on the empty field under Data and click the (…) button. We’ll first set up the key that enables squad members to talk to their squad commander.

First, click Whisper (or Shout if you’ve got the RC2 version) to Channel at the top. Next, choose Parent and check Whisper to subchannels. What this does is it sends a message to your SC and your squad members, to call out points for example. Be aware that this message is not relayed directly to the rest of the fleet! This means you can chatter with your squad without cluttering up fleet comms, but it also means your information will not be available to the rest of the commanders or the whole fleet directly! Especially SC’s need to be aware of this as they need to relay important information to command.

Line 65:

Click OK and set a key binding by clicking the empty field under Shortcut. Next, add a another key. This key will be for commanders to talk to their subordinates. This enables bait squad SC’s to coordinate with their squad without confusing the rest of the fleet and it lets WC’s talk to just their wing members.

Again, set the Function field to Whisper and click the (…) key. Click Whisper to Channel, select Current and check Whisper to subchannels. Be aware that giving orders by using this key does not transmit your message to other commanders in the same or higher level. So when an SC talks using this key, he needs to communicate his actions separately with the rest of the commanders. But, being the good SC he is, he should have been doing that from the start anyway. There is one big note that should be made when using this setup, however. Setting up your keys like this makes sure information is only streamed to those that need to know. On the other hand, SC’s are required to be a lot more active in relaying information to the rest of command. This information then needs to be relayed by the FC to the rest of the fleet, if he deems it important for the rest of the fleet to know it also.
