Steel UK 40 Posted May 19, 2016 This is an epic mod. The release of this with the coyote or green variants would be good because we could then incorporate these into our British based equipment (authentic or not, we a limited for choice when it comes to TFAR radios). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Punky1 22 Posted May 20, 2016 Coyote is coming I just have to figure out how to implement ace interaction first before the next release. As for the antenna: I decided to model the 80063 ASSY A3256529-1 heavily based on this picture. In my research I've seen the antenna mostly completely folded or completely unfolded when used. The antenna is also used with a variety of manpacks which is also nice since I'd like to have the backpack for ACRE with the AN/PRC-117F as well.

timothyj080 16 Posted May 28, 2016 So as an currently serving Marine 0621 Radio Operator, I must correct you on a couple of things... the antenna is this pic is not the "Whip" antenna, that is a common blade antenna, most commonly used with VHF-Low Band Communication(20-108MHZ). The antenna in this pic... is what is known as the "10ft Whip" due to the fact that when fully assembled it will "whip" back and forth when you move. It too is also used in VHF-Low Band Communication commonly associated with SINCGARs(30-87.975MHZ) operations. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey timothy, thanks for the info and in fact I had the names mixed up when I made the post. They are already corrected in the current dev build. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timothyj080 16 Posted May 28, 2016 Awesome!! Also hope my corrections didn't come off as being a dick, definitely did not mean it that way if they did! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raspu86 92 Posted May 29, 2016 Awesome!! Also hope my corrections didn't come off as being a dick, definitely did not mean it that way if they did! I no way! I'm always looking for feedback! --------------- So I finally was able to get the satcom antenna working as I imagined. It will be an deployable item via ace_interaction. If it is deployed and the player is in a certain radius it will boost radio range considerably. So in the end I think it will come in handy for example JTACS and communication over a very long range.

Capt Childs 178 Posted June 4, 2016 Awesome work, loving the actual SATCOM functionality, both cool and useful! Do the other different antennas give different performance, or is it just cosmetic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raspu86 92 Posted June 4, 2016 Do the other different antennas give different performance, or is it just cosmetic? Forgot to mention that. They have different performance. Whip: tf_range = 17000 Whip extended: tf_range = 25000 Blade: tf_range = 18000 DD: tf_range = 15000 The values are somewhat random and do not represent real world characteristics of the antennas unfortunately. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arkhir 135 Posted June 4, 2016 Have you thought about donating this mod to RHS or TFAR? Many people are not using your awesome mod just solely because it's standalone, another little thing to download, and unpack. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many people are not using your awesome mod just solely because it's standalone, another little thing to download, and unpack. I know that this is some kind of bummer but no big deal for coop communities imho. I also do have some nasty requirements now (cba and ace) which will further complicate things. I'll gladly "give it away" though if I'm asked. The range is in meters?? Yes, that's in meters. Default TFAR backpack radio range is 20000. You won't get that range in game tough since of terrain loss. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raspu86 92 Posted June 5, 2016 Can I change the value? Only with a config that overwrites the values. I'm open to suggestions tough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raspu86 92 Posted June 5, 2016 P.S. Please tell me how to use this RF-3080. You need to have the item in your inventory. Then just place it with ace interaction https://i.imgur.com/nNY1brP.jpgand profit. The range is only increased if you are within 5 meters of the RF-3080. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
