Posting this here as a guide as it's something I just figured out how to do and I found no hard and fast answer on how it's done, I kept running into threads on other forums years out of date talking about registry edits then finding it didn't work anymore and messing around with mic mute/unmute programs but nothing was working for me.
If you're like me and you use a mouse button for push to talk on TeamSpeak (I use Button 4) you've probably run into problems when trying to bind the same key in both OBS and ShadowPlay and numerous other programs.
Step 1 (may not apply).
With my mouse (razer mamba) button 4 is the default back button on browsers so I needed to disable it, to do this I use a program called X-Mouse Button Control. After installing simply set whatever buttons on your mouse you don't want to function to "disable" (see spoiler). That doesn't disable the button but it'll stop doing what you don't want it to do. It is possible to do simulated keys with this program but I've found it a little buggy.
Step 2.
Down a program called AutoHotKey, it's a little program where you can set macros to any button on your computer. After it's installed, right click on your desktop, go to "New" and then "AutoHotkey Script" and name it whatever you like. My script is below, quite simply XButton1 is Mouse Button 4 and F13 is the F13 key. I don't have an F13 key and you probably don't either but it still exists and all the way up to F24. Here is a list of all the keys you can use.
XButton1::F13
Save your script, right click and run it to see if it works, then right click again and click compile if it does. It should create a new icon on your desktop that looks slightly different, just double click to run it. I recommend to set it to run on startup if it works well for you.
Step 3.
Now go to your program of choice and press that mouse button to have it bound.
Intro
The objective of this guide is to help the reader understand how the radio devices in TFAR works, we will look at the typical examples of radios in use on AWE but can be applied to any TFAR user looking for a quick start guide, note that this guide does not cover correct communication etiquette.
Short Range Radios (UHF)
AN/PRC-152 This radio is intended for fire team leaders, Within AWE frequencies are located on the edge of the map in the left corner, they are normally set up correctly as you spawn in.
Display The first block (C1) refers to the channel selected. The second block displays the frequency of the channel selected in megahertz (Mhz), you can click this, highlight the numbers and change the frequency, you must use the function button ENT to confirm this input.
Function buttons CLR: Clears the current frequency, this button is not really required because you can just highlight the current frequency and press backspace (delete). ENT: Enter. (set frequency) Press this button to confirm what you have written into the frequency box, without pressing this the frequency will revert back to the frequency before you edited it. PRE +/-: This button changes the channel up or down, the primary method of changing channels is done by the number pad on your keyboard.
Advanced functions ◄ (arrow left): Set additional channel creates an alternative frequency on the radio that enables the user to multitask their radio. An example might be a fireteam leader may have to communicate to an armoured element whilst maintaining watch on his own frequency. An additional channel is indicated via an A instead of a C in the channel display. ► (arrow right): Speakers, allows you to toggle between headphones and speakers, if you select speakers it means that others can hear the radio device. 0 (): Stereo settings, allows you to choose which earphone you hear the channel on. Note you may also set additional channels up on a different stereo setting to your selected channel.
The central rotary knob changes the volume for the device. Numerical buttons - have no function on this device.
RF-7800S-TR Intended for squaddie use it does not have any of the advanced functions, it requires a MicroDAGR to be programmable. Best practice is to switch channels using the numberpad on your keyboard
Long Range Radios (VHF)
AN/ARC-210, (black interface)
This radio can be found predominantly in BAF JTAC/FAC backpacks as well as armoured units, aircraft and some transport vehicles. Within AWE you can usually find the frequencies at the edge of the map and also the preset frequencies are correct, to change with the number pad you have to press left control and then a number on your keyboard number pad. The next two interfaces are very similar.
Display
The first block (CH1) refers to the channel selected
The second block displays the frequency of the channel selected in megahertz (Mhz), you can click this, highlight the numbers and change the frequency, you must use the function button FREQ to confirm this input.
Function buttons
FREQ: Set frequency, same function as ENTer on the UHF radio, you must press this to confirm your entry into the frequency box.
ERF: Set additional channel creates an alternative frequency on the radio that enables the user to multitask their radio. An example might be an armoured unit trying to communicate with other units far away and also sticking to the command channel at the same time.
STO: Stereo controls which earphone will be used for the selected channel (or additional channel)
LOAD: Puts the radio on speaker, this is useful if there are multiple crew working in a vehicle where it may benefit them to hear VHF communications. For example, the passengers of a troop transport can hear the rest of the platoon’s movements and status to gain better situational awareness.
CLR: Clears the frequency window.
VOL: Controls the overall volume
PRESET: Adjusts channel selection, best practice is with ctrl+number pad on your keyboard.
RT-1523G (ASIP) (Green interface)
Commonly found across the board of VHF communication in an infantry platoon, the buttons are the same as above with the exception of:
TIME - increase volume
BATT/CALL - decrease volume
In-game name when banned: Harry
What message displays when you attempt to connect? You were kicked off the game. (BattlEye: Admin Ban (Purposely teamkilling while disconnecting))
Why do you think you were banned? I was about to disconnect and I was playing with my friends and I shot 2 of my friends. I did not mean to kill them but I think I did.
Why (in your personal opinion) should your ban be lifted? I am very new to the game and I was provoked by one of my friends shooting me first and almost killing me, I then 100% accidentally shot one of my friends who didnt actually kill me as I thought he was a different person, then turned round to get revenge. I am very new to this game so I did not know how many rounds it would take to kill them, I only wanted to injure them. I also did not take a full read of the rules as I just wanted to get playing which I should have as I did not realise Team Killing was banned. In fairness I got banned when I was only retaliating for someone else in my team shooting me
Which administrator banned you (if known): ShadowAce11
When were you banned: 25/10/17 at around Midnight GMT
