You don't need to do anything to just listen to a sub channel but joining it. Your regular push to talk button will still let you talk to the whole fleet/campus you are in, the sub channels are "linked" to the whole channel. To be able to talk to the sub channel you are in right now, you need to set a second PTT key. To set that up, go to Configure -> Settings -> Shortcuts, which will pop up a window that looks like this:

[[File:Mumble shortcuts.png|600px|center]]

You should already see your existing push-to-talk key set up.  It's a good idea to check the ''Suppress'' box on any shortcuts, as that will prevent other applications from recognising your key and performing unforseen tasks you had not expected (e.g. warp scrambling stargates).

Line 127:

#Click the Add button in the bottom left, which will bring up a new ''Unassigned'' shortcut in the window.

#Click the word ''Unassigned'' and select ''Whisper/Shout ''from the drop-down list.

#Click the word ''Empty'' next to it, which should cause a [...] button to appear next to that - click that [...] button to open a new Whisper Target window. [[~~Image~~:~~Shortcut 1~~.png|center]]

#Click the word ''Empty'' next to it, which should cause a [...] button to appear next to that - click that [...] button to open a new Whisper Target window.

#Make that new Whisper Target window look like this (i.e. Shout to Channel box ticked at the top, and Current channel highlighted), and then click OK.  The ''Shout to Linked channels'' should be clear. Check ''Shout to subchannels'' if you want to be able to talk to the campus sleeper rooms (sometimes listed as "Ready Room"). [[~~Image~~:~~Whisper~~ current target.png|center]]

#Finally click the Shortcut column of your new shortcut and press the key you wish to use.

#You now have a Command chat key set up for fleet channels!

Note that it will only talk to Command chat if you yourself are also in Command.  If you are in the general fleet channel it will talk to the general fleet ONLY, i.e. not Command.  You can also use this key in any channels that are linked together (e.g. Public Lounge and Combat Lounge) - it will only talk to the current channel, and not the linked channels.  Speaking of which...
