Turning on the radio

Archive1 · 12-01-08, 03:24 PM

This sounds like a newbie question (nothing wrong with that) although I'm not, but how do you turn on the radio? In SH3 one went to the radio room and clicked on the radio icon, but in SH4? Maybe I'm missing something - but looked in the manual, nada, and in FAQs.
Am using latest versions of RSRD and TM - I do know that one of these takes over the radio section for some calculations, but that one can use the stock gramophone settings to replace the mod settings.
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else - have looked but no joy.

click on the second to last tab from the right and you'll find it there, along with the gramaphone

Cap'n - worked like a charm...I knew I'd seen that icon somewhere but for the life of me couldn't remember where. Duh. Thanks again.

May I ask a different question? Is it correct that one cannot give seamen a specialty, ie, in torpedoes, or engine room etc as one could do in SH3 (especially with Commander)? It seems that there should be more seamen with some significant aknowledged specialty abilities after 5 patrols, but none are indicated on the crew management screen when time comes for promotion and medals. Or I should say there does not seem any way to create such specialties for individual seamen that logically would come with experience. Again, am I missing something here?

You can give seamen specialty skills once they have enough experience. When you promote them, you will see a box asking you what specialty you would like.

Once again maybe something's showing up that I'm just not seeing. It is strange though, that there is no reference to that action in the manual or in other FAQs - at least the ones I've look at.
Appreciate the help from you both (include Capt Shark Bait...does that mean we're chums, Capt?)
