**Description:**
Add option for visualisation of the radio that is producing audio. Nothing fancy is desired. Just in text, or simple graphics show which radio and channel is receiving a transmission on screen. It does this already when you have the radio UI activated in the S-meter portion.

Something that struck me now that I no longer have stereo hearing (irl) is that the left/right is no longer good enough for distinguishing which radio is receiving audio. As a "pilot" I'm on at least three radios at the same time. Before the hearing issue, left, center and right was enough to know which radio was sounding off as I always set them the same way. When you only have mono sound, you can use center radio and the hearing ear radio. The third radio on the wrong ear will be inaudible to the extent of your hearing issue.

If you can set all radios to briefly display receiving a transmission without occluding the screen then that solves any confusion and aids the hearing impaired players with multiple radios.

We already show signal meter on some radios, we could easily add this, could use same graphics as outgoing speaking.

Sorry to hear about your loss!
