The Radio Transmitter is a small electronic component that sends a radio signal. It is the part that lets a homemade radio talk as well as listen.
Electricians need it to build a makeshift walkie talkie or a makeshift ham radio. Both are two-way sets. The part is light, so a few can be stored with other electronics.
Radio factories and radio storage rooms are the best places to find one. Army storage and pawn shop offices hold them too. The Electrician is the best occupation for electronics. It starts with the most Electrical skill. The Engineer also starts with some Electrical skill.
Using
The transmitter goes into two Electrical recipes. Each also needs a screwdriver, which is kept.
Make Makeshift Walkie Talkie needs Electrical level 2. It takes the transmitter, a Radio Receiver, an Amplifier, a Light Bulb and a Light Bulb - Green. It also takes 3 Scrap Electronics, 2 Electrical Wire and 3 aluminum.
Make Makeshift Ham Radio needs Electrical level 3. It takes the same kinds of parts in larger amounts: 4 Scrap Electronics, 3 Electrical Wire and 4 aluminum.
The Radio Receiver is needed in both recipes too. It turns up in the same places as the transmitter, so both are worth taking together.
Used in Crafting
These recipes take the Radio Transmitter as an ingredient or a part.

Locations
Radio factories, radio shipping and radio storage rooms hold one about half the time. Army storage and office military crates hold one about one time in four. Pawn shop offices give similar odds. A desk in the Jackie Jaye office turns one up now and then. Cybercafe desks, pawn shops and garages hold one less often. Homes give only a small chance. It is a common find in the right buildings.

Notes
- Both two-way makeshift radios need a transmitter and a receiver.
- Radio factories are the richest place for both parts.
- The ham radio needs Electrical level 3, one more than the walkie talkie.
