The Sonoran Radio Arma 3 integration connects an Arma mission to the Sonoran Radio desktop overlay. Signal towers affect radio quality, inventory items can select team-specific radio frames, and an optional setting lets nearby AI detect players while they transmit. CBA_A3 is required. TFAR and ACRE are not required.
Sonoran Radio does not add an in-game radio menu or a Y keybind. Players use the Sonoran Radio desktop app and its Overlay tab beside Dispatch for radio controls.
