Ahoy Rick und Willkommen

It would help a great deal if you could post any mods you may be using. If you are new to this game, you will find the mods and patches necessary to get any bugs out of your gameplay. So before we can help, it would be good to know. Also it wouldn't hurt to tell us your system and graphics card.
This sounds like an easy fix, there are several types of radio messages available depending on your mod set. If you don't have any mods it would be good if you could check out the mods forum for some basic (but important) set ups.
Check back ASAP and we will sort this out.

I'm more au fait with SH3 - but do you have someone manning the radio room?

Hi dogfish40 and Her Berbunch and Thanks for your responses
I have activated "NewUIs_TDC_7_1_0_ByTheDarkWraith"," Accurate German Flags", "sobers better terrain v3 SH5" and "sobers waves mod V7 01012013" using JSGME and it has enhanced the game play very well it shows a radio message icon on the right hand side which is greyed out I know this works because I have been watching the tutorial videos on you tube at the link by j2jonjermery and i think it was video 2 or 3 were he applied the mods and it show the radio messages no probs.
I know there must be tons of updates and mods to use and I am sure with the help of you guys I will find the right ones any advise on which ones to use would be good..

my PC is a HP pavillion dv6 6001sa with is a AMD pheonom(tm) II 1.8GHz Quad-core uP and 4GB ram and Radeon video chipset I have no probs running any other games and it runs SH5 on max settings by default

thanks again
R.

I'd have to point you in the direction of Sober's list - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=192374

I have to agree there. I always use Sober's list as a compass nowadays because he's one of the members who's really up to date with most all the mods. I'm not sure if I understand the radio room messages being "grayed out".
Does that mean that you are not seeing any messages incoming to the boat, or, you're not getting messages from the radio room (Radioman)?!
I see that you have loaded TDW's UI, good move, I will also suggest Mighty Fine crew: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1572, and the "More Crew CommandDialog"
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1671
These alone may fix the radio message difficulty.
Again, check out Sober's list. Loading up these mods greatly improves the game and takes care of a lot of bugs. Make sure to keep the order of the mods as this is important as well.
There is a Patcher released by TDW that will fix even more bugs and increase functionality of the boat.
After loading up some of these, please check back and tell us how the radio problem is. Since your mods seem to work I am assuming you have the 1.2 patch loaded as well?!
