Mumble voice icon question

[Bushrag]

So I ran a search and didn't find anything. But basically, I spent last night getting Mumble (V0.5) installed and running and tried it out in game on the TG Server. It seemed to work as I could hear teammates talking, etc. One question I did have is that when I went to my Mumble program and tested it again after leaving the game. I noticed that when pressing my Local Talk key programed as "," I had the green horn icon appear next to my name, which should mean it's working. But when I join SQ Leader radio on press my Squad Leader talk key "." I get a red horn icon appear next to my name, does this mean my SQL channel isn't functioning properly? Thank you for the help.

This is perfectly fine, however there appears to be a misunderstanding on how those functions are supposed to work.

Local Talk, your "," button, is to transmit audio using the positional system (which means only people within range will hear you), indicated by a green speaker icon
SQ Leader Radio, your ".", will send your transmission directly to every one in your channel (non-positional, similar to old/regular TS), indicated by a red speaker icon

Transmitting will work inside channels (i.e. "Team 1") and (as set up on pr-mumble server) their sub-channels (i.e. "Squad Leader Radio Net (Team 1)").
It is customary that Squad Members join the "Team 1" channel, while Squad Leaders and Commander join the "Squad Leader Radio Net (Team 1)" subchannel. As a Squad member pressing the "." button will directly transmit to every player on the channel which is why you should almost never use SQ Leader Talk when in "Team 1" channel (although it will technically work).
As Squad Leader you will want to communicate to other SLs even when they are not nearby this is when you use "." (SQ Leader talk) to communicate to them.
This channel layout seperates the frequent direct transmissions of SLs so that regular SMs are not bothered by (for them irrelevent) global chatter.
