Blasting-Cap Transmitters
Mining transmitters give Walker’s improvised radio the ability to answer voices it could previously only receive.
Story so far
Walker identified blasting-cap transmitters in the Mining Storehouse as usable radio transmitters. Shirly found three beneath ignition relays in the foreman’s desk, providing the components he needed to attempt a reply.
Walker subsequently established two-way voice contact using one of them. His improvised radio now uses a detonator’s red switch to transmit.
Appearance
The improvised transmitting arrangement includes a detonator with a red switch.
Role
These mining components provide the transmitting function of Walker’s improvised radio.
