A ham radio is a type of world object in Fallout 3.
Background[]
Throughout the wasteland, ham radios are commonly found, manufactured by Radiation King. Most are found paired with a microphone, and are able to both transmit and receive information. Other ham radios broadcast a signal that serves as a beacon to lead the player character to locations.
The player character can turn the ham radio off once they reach it, which stops the broadcast. Ham radios are found both destroyed and intact, cannot be damaged by the player character, nor added to the inventory.
