RT-1523G Usage

1. First, channels must be programmed with the assigned frequencies

2. Press ALT + P to open the long-range interface

3. By default, CH 1 will be on the radio

4. To enter the frequency, highlight the existing frequency, using the keyboard, type in the desired frequency and
press the ENT button on the radio

5. Before programming the next frequency, consider routing signal to a particular ear. This makes it easier to
distinguish which frequency is being heard. To do this, cycle through the following options by clicking on ‘STO’
(bottom row, second button from the right)
a. Left
b. Right
c. Both ears

6. To set up the next frequency, choose CH 2. The onscreen NUM Pad must be used with the RT-1523G.

7. Set the frequency as detailed in (4) and (5)

8. Before switching back to CH1, a secondary channel can be set up, allowing for the ability to speak on either pre-
programmed channel without opening the radio.

Keeping the radio on CH2, complete the following;

a. Click the ‘ERFT OST’ key. Second row, furthest right button
b. This should change the channel prefix from ‘CH ‘ to ‘CA’
c. VERY IMPORTANT! Return the radio to CH 1

9. Now, the following can be completed;

a. To speak on the primary cannel press CTRL + CAPS Lock
b. To speak on the secondary channel press ‘CTRL + T’

Task Force Arrowhead Radio

Task Force Arrowhead Radio (TFAR) is a mod that not only allows for realistic signal range and radio usage but also
brings directional chat limited by distance into the game. Ground forces in 1st Air Assault use two types of radio,
AN/PRC-152 and the RT-1523G, both of which feature the following;

 They are considered unique objects within the Arma 3 world. This feature allows one player to program a radio
and trade it with another player.
 Radios can be taken from dead enemy bodies and reveal frequencies. During operations radios should be
stripped from dead bodies before being left behind.
