| '''Radio Service''' in [[Malton]] was originally restricted by the [[External Military|Military]], but has been unblocked and made available for survivor use.
| | I KNOW WHO YOU ARE MUUUUUUU HAAAAA HAAAA |
| | |
| ==Using the Radio System==
| |
| | |
| Certain frequencies require you to have a [[Radio Operation|proper skill]] to transmit on, but you can tune in and listen to any frequency. The Military has reserved certain lower frequencies for their own use, and reports on the status of suburbs they are overflying can be heard on these channels. However, they are jammed against broadcasts from inside the city.
| |
| | |
| To use the network, you need to have either a [[Useful Items#Radio Transmitter|radio transceiver]] or a [[Useful Items#Radio|handheld receiver]]. Transceivers are normally found in Tech Stores inside most [[Malls]], but have been occasionally found inside [[Fire Stations]] and [[Warehouses]]. Handheld receivers are found in Mall Tech Stores as well, but more commonly turn up in [[Police Departments]] and [[Fire Stations]].
| |
| | |
| A transceiver allows you to send and receive radio transmissions, but it must be set-up in a building with power from a [[Generator]]. Once it has been installed, it is impossible to pack-up. As they are large items, they can be destroyed by both [[Humans]] and [[Zombies]]. Handheld receivers, however, are battery-powered and light enough to carry in one's personal items stash. The drawback is that they cannot be used for transmissions. Several frequencies can be monitored by carrying multiple receivers, but only one transceiver can be setup per building, with a limit of one frequency monitored.
| |
| | |
| ===Tactical Use===
| |
| Unlike [[Mobile Phone]]s, use of the radio network enables instant mass-communication across Malton, at low cost of [[Action Points|AP]] per person reached. However, they can be heard by anybody tuned to the proper frequency, so discretion is advised. By carrying multiple receivers, a citizen can listen in to multiple channels (ie: a city-wide frequency, a suburb frequency and a group frequency).
| |
| | |
| Both mobile phone messages and radio messages can be read at no AP cost. However, phone towers are often under attack and service is somewhat patchy.
| |
| | |
| As you can only talk to the 50 people closest to you, it is useful to have a radio transceiver installed in large buildings ([[Malls]], [[Forts]], [[NT]] facilities, etc), as all persons inside the building can hear you make a call over the radio. This provides for easy mass communication. Care must be taken, however, to avoid clogging up the airwaves with conversations best made either through chatting (perhaps by moving to a nearby empty building) or over the [[Mobile Phone|SMS Network]]. Also see [[Radio/Etiquette|examples of possible etiquette and protocol]] to use in chatting.
| |
| | |
| With radios being so useful to mass communication to survivors, zombies have taken to destroying transceivers at the same time as generators, to prevent a SOS call from being made by the survivors inside.
| |
| | |
| However, radios are high-maintenance items, and require a [[Generator]], with its constant need for [[Fuel Can|fuel]]. Small survivor groups often have a hard time maintaining transmitters for this reason.
| |
| | |
| ==Known Frequencies==
| |
| | |
| ===New Allocations===
| |
| | |
| Many groups have established a radio frequency that they use. Group maintainers are free to list their radio frequency in the list below.
| |
| | |
| Fill new entries in order of station MHz number, into entries marked as '''''AVAILABLE'''''. If more than one claim is made to any particular entry, please list both (indented) under one entry. '''Sharing of frequencies should only be done in limited cases.'''
| |
| | |
| Please format your entry as follows:
| |
| xx.xx MHz: [[Example page|Group Link]] -- [[Example page|Location Link]]/Description
| |
|
| |
| All '''Malls''' have at least 1 dedicated frequency and all suburbs belong to at least 1 frequency, through their district assignment.
| |
| | |
| ===Frequency Allocation Removal Process===
| |
| | |
| The criteria for clearing up the below lists are as follows:
| |
| :* A frequency that is not linked to an [http://www.urbandead.com/stats.html existing group], building, or other wiki page
| |
| :* A frequency that has a link, but is a dead link
| |
| :* A frequency that is linked to a historical group page
| |
| | |
| Occasionally, [[Radio/Group Massacre|groups may be removed on bulk.]]
| |
| | |
| Any issues in clearing out stale frequencies should be taken to the [[Talk:Radio|talk page]].

| |
| | |
| ==Pirate/other radio==
| |
| Pirate Radio stations may broadcast anything on any frequency. These stations do not follow agreed transmission protocols and may broadcast slanderous comments, tasteless commentary or may simply be 'underground' music broadcasters. they may also include dissident groups.
| |
| | |
| The pirate broadcasters typically broadcast on whatever channel their local transmitter happens to be on at that moment. However, some target specific groups on their frequencies, broadcasting undesirable comments or simply spamming the channels.
| |
| | |
| *''Cruxshadow Pirate Radio'' broadcasts on whatever channel is convenient (i.e., whatever channel the transmitter's currently tuned to). Generally, they broadcast lyrics from songs and sign off with ''"This is Cruxshadow Radio, a pirate broadcast in Queen's English from some time after now. May server protect us all . . . please help me . . . "''
| |
| *''[[WPKU]]'' is a Pirate Station involving on-air PKing. A typical broadcast involves a mock interview with the victim, with the final shot being delivered at the moment that the [[PKer]]/interviewer asks the victim a question. It is broadcast on the channel dedicated to the suburb that the PKer/interviewer is currently located in.
| |
| *''Enlightenment Radio'', originally the radio station of the [[Philosophe Knights]] broadcast on 27.98, now acts as the voice of the [[PKA]], broadcasting forboding poems and songs before mass PKer strikes, and information concerning the reason for the strikes. While no longer on its original frequency, it still is the dedicated channel for the Philosophe Knights, and is used by them to broadcast lectures to the populace. Generally, Broadcasts begin by stating: "This is Enlightenment Radio, bring you a special message..." followed by a poem, song, or comedic essay. It is broadcast on frequencies relevant to the suburb or building that the PKers are targetting.
| |
| *''[[Malton revolution radio]]'' is a subversive anarchist (and occasionally democratic socialist) pirate station whose operatives broadcast on any frequency they can find, but take special pride in using government, military, and fascist stations to broadcast their message.
| |
| *The ''Birling Bulletin'' is a radio show for the inhabitants of [[Tompson Mall]] and neighbouring buildings. It gets its fair share of spam. The Bulletin itself broadcasts local, 'mall wide' news.
| |
| *Members of the [[Popsicle Pete|Popsicle Pete cult]] often hijack suburb frequencies to spread propaganda.
