Ham radio (Fallout 3)

A ham radio is a small radio transceiver found throughout the wastelands.

Background
Throughout the Capital and Mojave Wastelands, radio communication is achieved by way of ham radios, which are known as transceivers. These devices, paired with a microphone, are able to both transmit and receive information. Some radios are functioning and transmit radio stations and messages. Other ham radios broadcast a signal that serves as a beacon to lead the player character to locations.

The signal received by one's Pip-Boy is not sent from the above-ground tower, but rather from the actual ham radio unit itself. These transmitters can be found in various sheltered locations, such as drainage cisterns, tunnels, or caves. The broadcast will become more clear as one moves closer to the ham radio unit and conversely, turns to static and fades out completely as one moved farther away. The player character can turn the ham radio off once they reach it, which stops the broadcast. Ham radios are indestructible and cannot be added to the inventory.
