Loading RF Broadcaster...

Overview

The RF Broadcaster is a consumer device that creates an intercom system for base-wide radio communication and remote control of compatible devices. It uses radio frequencies to toggle switches wirelessly and broadcast audio signals throughout your base. The range is unlimited through radio, but audio effects have limited audible range from the broadcaster's location.

Tips

  • The broadcaster must have a PersonalRadio equipped to function. Check the WalkieTalkie slot.
  • Radio range is unlimited, so you can control devices across large bases or even between bases.
  • Audio effects have limited range (5-15m), so even distant switches operate silently at distance.
  • Frequency cycling allows multiple broadcasters on different channels in the same area.
  • Perfect for eliminating visible wiring to remote switches in strategic locations.
  • Works only with compatible remote switch devices (LFPG_SwitchRemote, LFPG_SwitchV2Remote).
