Raiders using the store as a base use the PA system to alert others in the building. One is set up as part of the public-address system in the Super-Duper Mart.

Only two ham radios have a more significant function in the game. Since all ham radios are set to the off position by default, they can be used as 'breadcrumbs' for the player, turning them on to mark where he or she has been. Players cannot affect a ham radio apart from turning the signal on or off. Generally, ham radio stations are only useful in that they broadcast a radio signal and serve as a beacon to lead a player to an otherwise difficult-to-find location.

Signal Yankee Bravo (YB) - In the northeast of the map, just south of Canterbury Commons.

Signal Sierra Victor (SV) - In the southwest of the map, southeast of Jocko's Pop & Gas Stop.

Signal Sierra Romeo (SR) - On west edge of map at Broadcast Tower KT8, due north of Little Lamplight and northeast of Vault 87.

Southwest of Fort Bannister and northwest of Evergreen Mills.

Signal Papa November (PN) - Due west of Megaton near the west edge of the map, at a tower just west of the Charnel House.

Signal Oscar Zulu (OZ) - In the northeast of the map, a bit southeast of Relay Tower KX-B8-11 and northeast of Temple of the Union.

Signal Oscar Tango (OT) - Perhaps the closest to Megaton, head west-northwest to the Jury Street Metro Station it is a little south of it.

Signal Kilo Bravo (KB) - Also in northwest, from WKML Broadcast Station, a bit southeast of Signal Alpha Lima and far south of Fort Constantine.

Signal Echo Foxtrot (EF) - Near north edge of map, south of Oasis.

Signal Alfa Lima (AL) - In northwest of the Fallout 3 map, at Broadcast Tower KB5, just west of Deathclaw Sanctuary.

K is Morse shorthand for 'over,' meaning the transmitter will pause and wait for a reply from another station.

Signal Alpha Lima uses ID code AL, while Signal Kilo Bravo uses ID code KB. In the wasteland stations, these codes are always two letters long and correspond to the signal name as identified in the Pip-Boy radio list. # - This is where the station's ID is broadcast.DE - DE is Morse shorthand for 'this is,' and is followed by the station's ID or callsign repeated two or three times.CQ is a two-letter code that shortens, and is pronounced as, 'seek-you.' CQ - A general non-emergency call, indicating that the station is looking for a reply from any station that can hear it.Translated, they follow almost the same pattern without variation: While a few stations broadcast in clear audio, most of the ham radio stations in the wasteland broadcast looped Morse code messages. At this point, check the local area map on the Pip-Boy 3000 and you will be able to see the entrance. Some are drainage culverts under roadways or even manholes built into a road surface. In many cases, these manholes are tucked close to a cliff face or in a crevasse. Typically, the entrance to the transmitter station is a manhole cover or other small access point. When the signal loses all of its static noise and the broadcast is clear, the transmitter's location is nearby. Walk in a zig-zag fashion, revising the route to keep moving towards the clearest signal. Begin moving in a line away from the tower at the point where the signal clarity is best. Note at which points in the circle the signal is clearest and least clear. Finding the transmitter's lair is a matter of simple radio direction-finding.Д«egin by walking in a circle around the above ground tower, preferably at a distance of thirty to fifty feet. Typically, these transmitters are located nearby in sheltered areas such as drainage cisterns, tunnels, or caves. Unlike real radios, the signal received by the player's Pip-Boy 3000 is not broadcast from the above ground tower, but rather from the actual ham radio unit itself. Throwing the breaker will reactivate the broadcast. Typically, one of the transformers will have a breaker box attached, or one will be mounted in a control cabinet nearby. Most towers have a transformer station either directly at their bases or nearby. They're tall, spindly structure is easily spotted even when near other wreckage. Transmitter towers are easily located in the wasteland. Through whatever reason, most transmitter towers upon which the ham radio stations rely for range have been shut down. They are almost never tuned to any particular signal and just emit an annoying static.ДЇew radio stations are active by default. Ham radios are mostly useless and serve no real purpose bar a few exceptions. Most broadcast in Morse code, although some broadcast live or recorded loops of audio. Despite the passage of time, many of these units are functional. Numerous transmitter towers can be found throughout the Capital Wasteland.
