Chinese radio beacon

The Chinese radio beacon is a radio station found in a random encounter in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
The radio beacon is tied to the random encounter and its signal will grow stronger as the player character gets closer to the source of the beacon — a dead Chinese commando.

The message repeats twice, then there is a short pause then the message repeats every few seconds in a loop.

Behind the scenes
If the player character uses the console command or use the console command, they can go underground where they will find a ham radio labeled "Chinese Radio Beacon" underneath the commando. The radio can be spoken to like any non-player character. If interacted with, the player character will hear "Hello?" or "Hey there" in English through the radio, to which the only reply available is "See you later," or "Time for me to go." Upon choosing this, the player character then hears "Bye" or "Later" or "Whatever" in English as the dialogue ends. Unlike other radios, this radio cannot be turned off.

Bugs

 * If the player character already has a given Chinese object in their inventory, the Commando may spawn without that particular object in his inventory.
 * Sometimes the dead Chinese commando doesn't spawn. The player character can still noclip underground and find the ham radio, but there will be no corpse above it.
 * A workaround on the PC is to use the console command.
 * Sometimes the beacon will become available only at a far edge of the world-map, indicating the commando's body is somewhere far off-map.
