📻 Radio & Communication Protocol
Staying connected is just as important as staying alive.
DZXRP blends in-game radios, Discord channels, and immersive etiquette to create a believable post-collapse communication network. This guide explains how to use your voice and text channels to simulate radio realism across Livonia.
🔊 In-Game Radios (Voice)
All handheld and field radios in-game should be used on valid in-game frequencies (e.g. 102.5, 87.8). These simulate your real-time radio transmissions to nearby survivors.
✅ Do:
- Speak clearly, stay IC, and keep it brief like real radio chatter.
- Use factional or personal frequencies for private group comms.
- Change frequencies regularly if you’re concerned about eavesdropping.
❌ Don’t:
- Use voice radio as a casual chat tool.
- Broadcast meme content or OOC chatter.
- Leave a radio on without RP context.
🖋️ ICOM Text (Discord)
For longer-range or asynchronous communication, we simulate text-based radio transmissions using Discord.
These include:
- DMs between players (private comms)
- Faction or trade channels (e.g. scheduling, deals, alerts)
This represents your survivor typing into a handheld ICOM device — similar to a military-grade radio terminal with text capability.
Example:
“122.45 / This is Merc, broadcasting from Kopa. Got .308 and rations for trade — reply with your freq.”
📻 UNICOM – 122.80 MHz
UNICOM is the open frequency of the DZXRP world.
It exists as a public Discord channel where any survivor can:
- Broadcast open messages anonymously
- Request contact with others
- Ask, “What frequency can I reach you on?”
Think of it as a CB radio lobby, used to make first contact or request assistance.
It’s monitored by traders, civilians, and factions alike.
💡 Use UNICOM before sending a DM — it keeps the world feeling connected.
📢 Radio Roleplay Tips
| Do This | Not This |
|---|---|
| “122.80 / Anyone hearing this near Gliniska?” | “Hey, you on bro?” |
| Use military or civilian RP tone | Spam, jokes, or emojis |
| Signal location or intent | Break character in text |
| Coordinate events or trade | Use Discord as a group chat |
🚫 Radio Interference & Dead Zones
To simulate realism:
- Some areas may have limited reception (e.g. valleys, underground)
- Staff may occasionally introduce static, interference, or hijacking as part of events
Use this to your advantage in roleplay — not everything needs to go through clearly.
🧠 Questions or Misuse?

Survivors don’t just talk — they signal. Make every message count.
