Ham radio (Fallout 3)



A  is a small radio transceiver popular among amateur radio enthusiasts throughout the Capital Wasteland.

Uses

 * Ham Radios can only be turned on or off, and seem to have no practical function in the game.
 * A few Ham Radios are connected to masts with powered transmitters; see Fallout 3 radio stations: Signals.
 * Other than turning one on or off, characters cannot affect a Ham Radio; they cannot be moved, taken or destroyed.
 * At one location the growl of a feral ghoul can be heard when the system is turned on.
 * Ham Radios are good for marking areas you have previously been.
 * The radio can also attract the attention of raiders in the Super-Duper Mart.
 * In Operation Anchorage, chinese technicians will use these to call for back-up.
