What is Radio Setup?
The Radio tab of the CAD admin panel controls the channels people see in the CAD radio window: which channels exist, who can use them, how they're grouped and how voices sound. For how units use the radio, see Radio.
🧭 Quick Navigation
Radio FX
Make channels sound like a real radio and fine-tune the effect.
Dispatch AI
An AI dispatcher that answers on one of your channels.
Channels
Open Radio → Channels to manage your channels. They're listed under their group, with ungrouped channels last.
Click Create channel to add one, or Edit Channel on a row to change it. Drag a channel by its handle to reorder it or move it to another group. Deleting a channel can't be undone.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Channel Name | 1 to 64 characters. |
| Frequency | 0 to 999.99. Default 670. |
| Group | The group to list the channel under. Optional. |
| Priority | Order within the group, highest first (-999 to 999). Dragging updates this for you. |
| Restrict To Panel | Only users on this panel can use the channel. Dispatchers can always use it. |
| Restrict To Agencies | Only users in these agencies can use the channel. |
| Allow CAD admins to bypass panel/agency restrictions | CAD admins can always use the channel. On by default. |
| Allow Dispatch panel to bypass talkover protection | Dispatchers can talk over others. On by default. |
| Dispatch AI channel | Makes this the Dispatch AI channel. Only one channel can have it, and it only shows once Dispatch AI is on in General Settings. |
| Radio FX | Applies a classic radio voice filter. See Radio FX to fine-tune it. |
Groups
Groups organize channels in the radio window, like categories in Discord. Open Radio → Groups.
- Click Create group, enter a name (1 to 64 characters) and optionally pick channels to move into it.
- Drag groups to reorder them. The top group shows first.
- Click Edit to rename a group, or Delete to remove it.
You can't delete a group that still has channels. Move them out first.
