F4 Radio: Multi-Channel FiveM Radio Script

A handheld FiveM radio script with a touch screen, up to 3 radio channels at once and a live on-screen display. Players hear every channel together and talk on all of them with one key. Job channels for police and EMS, password-protected frequencies for crews. Works with QBCore, Qbox, ESX and standalone, on pma-voice, mumble-voip or SaltyChat.

How the Radio Works

1. Use the radio item or type /radio. The device opens on screen and the radio appears in the player's hand.
2. Tap a job channel to connect, or type any frequency on the keypad. Locked channels ask for their password.
3. Hold Caps Lock to talk on every connected channel, or use a slot key to talk on just one.
4. The on-screen display lists every member, and a name lights up the moment that person keys the mic.

A police officer can sit on the department channel, the joint channel with EMS and a private one with their partner, all at the same time.

Job Channels and Private Frequencies

Features

• Multi-channel radio: up to 3 channels at once, each in its own slot, all heard together
• One key to talk: Caps Lock talks on every connected channel, and each slot can have its own key
• Touch-screen device: Channels, Connect, Saved and Settings tabs, with power, home and back keys, knobs and a side talk key
• On-screen display: see every member and who is talking, drag each channel anywhere, collapse it, or show only who is speaking
• Your own mix: talk, listen and volume per channel, and mute any person just for yourself
• Emergency button: pressed twice, it sends a banner, an alarm and a map blip with your location to the whole channel
• Callsigns: show a callsign like 1-ADAM-12 next to the name in member lists
• Radio voice effect: voices sound like a real radio, and someone standing next to you is heard naturally
• Talk animations: a hand on the shoulder mic or the radio raised to the mouth, with a radio prop
• Customizable look: 6 screen colours, 4 body colours including a yellow ATEX version, device size and position
• Admin panel: every live channel and who is on air, with kick, close, rename, remove password, change owner and a full activity log
• Realistic limits: no talking while dead, cuffed or underwater, and losing the radio item drops the player from every channel
• Server-side security: jobs, passwords and kicks are all checked on the server, and the talk key is rate limited per player
• No database needed: no SQL to run
• Optimized: voice never passes through the game server, channel updates are grouped, and per-frame work only runs while the screen is open or the talk key is held

Compatibility

Framework, inventory and voice resource are detected automatically, and the radio item works without editing items.lua. On SaltyChat the radio has 2 channels (primary and secondary), without per-channel volume or personal mute.
