Hello fellow members of the SAPD,
We have been testing a new system with the usage of teamspeak and separating patrol channels to make it easier to communicate with one another rather than using one combined channel were communications are often lost with individuals talking over one another. This new system has been tested and it is well liked by just about everyone that has tried it out. The new system involves the usages of the Patrol Channels: "PC-1, PC-2, PC-3, PC-4, PC-5, Air-1, and Dispatch Room" Patrol partners are sent into their respective rooms, to help limit the amount of clutter involved in one patrol channel when you have 8-15 users in a said channel. The effeciency involved with this new system is the ability to set up a whisper bind to these channels that allows you to communicate to all the above listed channels at one time that way everyone can still remain in radio contact, however limit the amount of clutter from people talking over one another. Some individuals have been having a hard time getting these whisper buttons set up, so below is a list of steps that will help you setup your whisper button to these channels so you can effectively participate in these new Organized Patrols utilized in teamspeak.
Step 1: While TeamSpeak is open, hover over the "Tools" bar and a drop-down menu will appear, click on the option listed as "Whisper List."

Step 2: At the bottom left hand corner of the screen click the button that says "New" it will then bring up a prompt asking you to select a "Hot-Key" this can be any button on your keyboard, mouse, gamepad, etc. If you find that the button you select interferes with another preset button in-game you can easily change this after you have it all set up.

Step 3: Once you have your hot key assigned, it is now time to setup the whisper list for the channels needed when participating in the Organized Patrols. On the very right hand side of the window click on the drop down menu, "Argonath RPG TeamSpeak" and then click on the drop down menu, "Channels."

Step 4: Once the drop down menu appears, you will need to scroll down that list until you come across the "Affiliated Communities/SA:MP/Argonath Government/ARPD Command/Dispatch Room" Listed under here you will see the following channels: "/Dispatch Room, /Dispatch Room/PC-1, /Dispatch Room/PC-2, /Dispatch Room/PC-3, /Dispatch Room/PC-4, /Dispatch Room/PC-5, and /Dispatch Room/Air-1"

Step 5: Once you have located these channel you will need to add them to your whisper list. The method is simple, all you need to do is double click on EACH channel name and it will add it to your list. The final result should look like this.

Step 6: The final step is probably the easiest step, after ensuring all your channels appear on your whisper list; first hit the "Apply" button, and then hit the "Ok" button.

Glad to see people finally have listened to something I've been wanting to see for a long time. We could also set up hotkeys to go to a certain channel for pursuit, like if PC-1 called it in then we all move there, or we just use Dispatch Room.
None the less, a great step forward today has been taken. Thanks for ensuring people will not get confused with setting up whisper lists SkyHawk.
However there are some things one should do which is, click "SETTINGS" > "OPTIONS" > "WHISPER"
Then,
It should have "Use individual settings in contacts, else allow" else you wont receive whispers.
"Play notify sound when receiving a whisper" should be unchecked else you will hear PSST every time someone is using a whisper. There are ways to make it so different sounds can play like a portable radio sound but those are easy to set up and you should be able to find guides for it.
"Always show whisper history when receiving a whisper" doesn't need to be checked unless you want a window popping up when you are getting a whisper saying who sent it to you.
So it should basically look like this: Spoiler (Click to expand)

Ensure that you are not selecting any other channels to whisper in other then those stated else people in the other channels will hear you and are going to get mad at you...
