Emergency Radio

Emergency Radio is a side quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Activating the quest
This quest is started by selecting NCR supply support on the NCR emergency radio.

Detailed walkthrough
The "quest" starts by using the NCR emergency radio and selecting the option to receive supply support. You will be told that the NCR has dropped supplies and your map will be marked to show where the supplies are. All one needs to do is simply travel to the location and collect the supplies. The "reward" varies from armor to weapons and ammunition. (Note: This quest is repeatable once every day, game time)

Bugs

 * Calling for a supply drop in certain areas may lead to the cache not spawning at all, or spawning underground or in non-accessible areas, leading to never being able to get supply drops again. On the PC this can be resolved by using the command code.
 * When the marker shows you the location of the supply drop and it isn't there then if your using PC, try using No Clip and go under that location and you might be able to see the supply cache under that spot. Once you get the supply cache use the disable command to the supply cache after taking the stuff because it may or may not add to your memory space.
 * Sometimes, the NCR supply cache spawns floating in midair leaving it unreachable. This can be corrected simply by jumping up and pressing the action button while in midair to reach it and its contents.
 * Sometimes the bodies of dead rangers and troopers respawn upon re-entering the area if one of their items is left on their body. This seems to be consistently the case if they are killed entering the Strip. This can be exploited to build up vast numbers of rangers as companions.
 * Rangers and troopers can enter casinos without having their weapons removed, however they remain in a glitched state once inside and are passive unless attacked. Also, once they have entered a casino they cannot exit.
 * If you call the cache in, it will from time to time spawn empty no matter what.
 * After trying to dismiss a Ranger, She will continue to follow you. You will not be able to call another until she dies. The dismiss option will still appear until she is dead.
