Suggestion: Since recently playing on other servers, I found a server using radios to communicate between Regiments, my suggestion is that we implement radios that can be used by Jedis, Sith and the Republic Army. This means that people don't need the Comms link swep that no one uses. This can also mean that if a person needs to quickly radio in something they do not need to type while being attacked.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Implementation: The Radio would be used strictly for RP reasons, so nothing for OOC, it follows the same rules as the /comms tag. The implementation of the radio would not nullify the /comms tag, it just makes it easier for those who have mics, just like how Voice chat was made to make it easier than using Text Chat.
The Radio would be usable by Jedi's, Sith and Republic Army (RA) that meet the following requirements, Jedi - Padawan | Sith - Acolyte | RA - Must be in a regiment (Or CT). Like the server I was on, there would be multiple frequencies used for different functions, on that server they only had listed the frequencies for Public, Enemy, and Friendly, but people could still set up custom Radio Frequencies. There are many Implementations of this lile:
So my idea is that there will be set frequencies for certain sides like a Public CIS and Public Republic that can be used by each side, so all CIS jobs could use Public CIS and all Republic can use Public CIS, but a CIS can't use Public Republic. This can allow people to easily swap between certain frequencies rather than tabbing out and changing TS (They also may not have access to the TS a certain person is in)
There will be Battalion/Job Specific Frequencies stated and agreeed by each battalion (I.E. 501st = 102.5Hz, SOBDE = 99.9Hz or Doom's Unit = 91.8Hz), it may also be used by Event jobs for RP reasons (Civillian is instructed to tune into a frequency so they may stay in touch), it can also be up to sub Regiments like (ARF/ARC) to agree on Radio channels so they do not interfere with their regiment's chatter. Also during events where there is chatter from an unknown source can be made more mysterious with hearing the person's voice.
Finally the frequencies can be used by jobs like MED, ENG, ARF/ARC and Base Ops ATC/BCC. For regiment examples, it means that while someone is getting attacked the person can call for a medic, Engineers could be called in for repair emergencies, ARF can easily communicate with each other as well as send data to ARC, for Base Ops, it means that Base ops can turn out Granting and denying much quciker rather than waiting for typing.
To put an end on how the Radio could be implemented, it could allow for a new Regiment in Base Ops called Comms, the Comms Regiment would be in charge of keeping track of all battalions in the field, currently would do check in that people are doing their requirements but the idea of telling people to simply to radio in status reports. The Comms Regiment can be tasked with tracking any unknown communications in the events. Even if Comms Regiment isn't a good idea, it still makes Base Ops job easier of getting more involved.

Lore: Clone troopers used Comms for communicating between each other, and occasionally co-operated and needed comms for each other. The use of radios was used for relaying info, hacking into enemy Communications and other functionality. There have been many models of comlinks, all star wars recorded comslink are here "https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Comlinks"
