Please provide a brief summary of your Suggestion/Idea
- My suggestion is to simply rename the radio for "Department" to "Interops"
Advantages/Benefits
- One thing that has bugged me for a while is that the "department" radio makes me think it should be something for a specific department only. We all know in real life different government agencies do sometimes need a shared radio channel when working of different situations, especially during disasters. But they would never call it a department radio. They would call it an "Interoperability" radio, or "Interops" for short. This would simply make it less confusing, and would make much more sense. We could still keep the /d command to avoid having to learn new keys, but just change the text to "Interops"
Disadvantages
If any
None whatsoever
Does it require scripting?
