Making Radio "Supplementary channel" codes permanent.

As for the emergency channel, I dunno how useful it'd be. Isn't that what the 'message dept/person' option on the PDA is for? It seems if people aren't paying attention to chat, they're not going to pay attention regardless of what colour it is.

True, but not everyone holds onto their PDA and they can be lost from bombers. Plus, it's a lot easier to send out a radio message than it is to PDA message someone. Playing Sec, I know that even if I'm not paying attention to the radio channel completely, seeing red text in my peripheral vision will make me look over. Hopefully, a strictly business/emergency channel would work the same for others.
