Radio
Since it would be difficult to understand what is being said if several people talk at the same time on different channels, you will only hear one person speaking at a time. The radio channels have priorities. Your radio will automatically silence someone speaking on one channel if someone starts speaking on a higher-priority channel. For example, if you are hearing someone speak on @DRIVERS and one of your teammates starts talking on your @TEAM channel, your teammate’s message will take priority. Channels are ordered as follows, from highest to lowest priority:
@ADMIN
@RACECONTROL @PRIVATE @TEAM @<user created> @CLUB @DRIVERS @SPECTATORS
You can also create your own channel and add it to your radio (see the @add command, below). If you give the name of this channel to others, they can also add the channel to their radios, and you can then all talk to each other. Just be aware that anyone that knows (or guesses) your channel name can add the channel to their radio and or join the conversation (or just listen in).
In addition to the next/prev channel controls, some text chat commands exist that can be used to alter your radio. You enter these commands as if you were going to transmit a text chat message. You can enter these commands no matter what channel your transmitter is set to – the commands are intercepted and acted on without actually being transmitted. These commands are signaled by starting your text chat message with the @ symbol.
@help
Will list the radio commands.
@help cmd (for exmample @help list)
Will give you more information about a specific command.
@list
Will list the set of channels that are programmed into your radio. Each channel will be preceded by up to 4 letters, indicating some properties about the channel. 's' means that the channel is being scanned by your radio’s scanner. 't' means that you can transmit on this channel. 'm' means that you have muted this channel. 'a' identifies the channel your transmitter is set to (the 'active' channel).
@add <name>
Will add the specified channel name to your radio, and switch your transmitter to that channel. For this and all the other radio chat commands where you specify a channel name, you can include the @ on the name (@add @lizard), or not (@add lizard). Both will work.
@remove <name>
Will remove the specified channel from your radio. Some channels can not be removed.
@transmit <name>
Will switch your transmitter to the channel. If you do not have permission to transmit on the channel, the transmitter will not be changed.
@mute <name>
Will mute the channel. You will no longer see any text chat, or hear any voice chat sent on the channel. Some channels can not be muted.
@unmute <name>
Cancels muting on the specified channel.
@noscan
Turns off scanning for any channels on your radio that you are allowed to mute. Some channels, like @RACECONTROL, can not be muted, and will still be scanned.
@scan
Turns scanning back on.
None of the changes made to your radio using the chat commands are 'sticky'. They are forgotten each time you exit the simulation.

If you look at the next line, you can see how to disable tire changes, fuel fill, and visor/windshield tear-off. Simply change autoResetPitBox=1 to autoResetPitBox=0. This is useful if you’re running in an iRacing League that limits or doesn’t allow tire changes. Nov 1, 2012 - iRacing - Release Notes for 2012 Season 4. You can enter these commands no matter what channel your transmitter is set to. Your pit crew have an option to do a windshield tear-off, available in the F4 black box, if the car.
