One of the only reasons our unit ever still uses ACRE is to play WW2 and Vietnam era operations with proper radio operators - that means having the commanders not carry the radios, but instead have a radio-man with them who they can then borrow the handset from to talk to the company. However, ACRE comes with a lot of issues in other areas.

A sharing radio feature would be a massive boon to TFAR as it already works just fine in most areas with minimal adjustment and would allow us to simulate actual radio operators who can hand off their handset to their commander, rather than having to play 'Chinese Whispers' (or telephone, if you're American) with the radio operators.

The backend for this already exists, you just need to set a variable.

But the implementation was never finished really, no proper testing, no ACE Interactions.
I would be glad if someone could finish the rest of it.
It will only allow external LR radio access, so using someone elses Backpack Radio, or using a vehicle radio while standing outside.
And I don't know how the settings array is handled
These I mean

When using a vehicle radio while standing outside, you are obviously not driver,gunner,commander nor cargo. Not sure how to handle that. Maybe just completely seperate "outside" settings for vehicles.

Also no handling preventing multiple people from remote accessing the same radio at once.
