Do non-HQ bases with radios extend the radio range as well? For example, if you had the HQ (base 1) overlap with another base (base 2), and then added another base (base 3) that overlapped with only the second base (base 2) would the third base (base 3) have radio connectivity? Is the purpose of radio relays just to extend the radio without having to make a base? Can they be captured like a normal base? I'm a bit confused because if one side is attacking and takes over the radio relay, and that radio is set to other faction, the attacking force will not have radio connectivity to attack the next base that's connected to the relay.

Non-HQ bases should extend the radio range in 1.2. The HQ building needs it as a way to tell the tasking manager what to do. That means as players capture points it will keep extending the range.
The radio relay is a way to extend the capture range for the players without the need of a non-hq base. bases will generally have a smaller radio range then radio relay points. EX: If BLUFOR wanted to do a SpecOp strike on OPFOR they would want to take control of a radio relay and capture a base further away.
Radio relays are captured by interreacting with the box and changing the frequency radio code. Just simply walk up and hold "F" or whatever the action button is for Xbox and wait till the action is completed. Simple as.

@@svenmartin69 Thanks for the explanation. None of the servers I play on implement the radio relays so I had no idea you could change the frequency code. Haven't seen them in popular mod maps either. It's a cool alternative to just capping bases to extend radio communications.

@@dylanwright907 Yeah they are rather neat and in PVP they can be an awesome thing.
