Most of that is just "immersive" stuff. Did the report give you latitude and longitude coordinates? If not, then it may just have been a "news" report that comes over the radio, but will show sometimes (depending upon "importance) in the text box, or might show as a "radio report" in the text box, but not slow down the TC you're using at the time. The really "important" stuff will drop your TC down. If you're receiving a report of a convoy of some form, you might have to "zoom" out some on the map, to maybe see a game icon for a convoy (maybe simulating "Ultra"), which you could then zoom back in on, and place a pencil mark by. Unfortunately, the game does not allow us to attach notes of any sort to any of the maps for later referral. I used to try to "track" stuff like that on a notepad that I kept next to me while playing, but since most of those are too far away to bother with in a timely, fuel-efficient manner, I ignore most of that "chatter". If it's not within a short travel from where I am / going, I don't change course or speed from my "mission", until after my "primary".
