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.

Quick walkthrough

 * Select "supply drop" on the NCR emergency radio.
 * The quest marker shows you where the supply drop is.
 * Pick up the supplies to complete the quest.

Detailed walkthrough
The "quest" starts by using the NCR emergency radio and selecting the option to recieve 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 ammo. (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 . (This seems to have been patched. I played on the PS3, and the box spawned somewhere i couldnt get it, but i waited 24 in-game hours, and called for supplies again, and the quest reactivated just fine)
 * For some reason, at times when you dismiss a Ranger, then re-use the radio, your only two options are to dismiss the soldier, or the "wait 24 hours to reuse" message. Upon clicking the "Dismiss" option, it spawned a dead ranger body. At a Ranger outpost, it spawned an alive ranger that took off running, which fixed the glitch, and the radio works again.
 * 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. WARNING: This will considerably increase load times between areas.
 * 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.
