Tired of having to editing your boring real life audio out of your way more awesome video game audio because you can't set dxtory to multiple PTT buttons? Well not anymore your not.
Some guys and I at ShackTac came up with this code for AutoHotKey that allows you to record multiple PTT keys if you are running radios. This works by mapping your radio and direct chat buttons to a dead key, then setting that dead key as your PTT key inside Dxtory, probably works with fraps too but hasn't been tested. This way you will only record audio when either of your keys are pressed.

Recording Multiple PTT keys using Dxtory through AutoHotKeys V1.2 10/11/2013
Current Code: 1.21 http://pastebin.com/gQnZLtCB#
Default Radio = Capslock
Default Direct = Mouse button 2(XButton2)
Default Dead Key for radio = Home
Default dead key for Dxtory Record = (=)
Explanation
This script works by setting your ACRE Radio hotkey to (home) key, then AutoHotKey will active (home) every time you hit Capslock. It will also active (=) key which will activate Dxtory's PTT and start recording your voice.
Don't ask me why you have to reroute your ACRE radio to Home and can't just use Capslock like always, I have no idea why but bad/weird things happen if you don't reroute ACRE radio to Home key(or any other dead key of your choice).

Recording Multiple PTT keys using Dxtory (ACRE compatible)
in ARMA 2 & OA - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE

Ya it should be compatible with any game with multiple radios, i just didn't want to say it was without testing it first.
