RF Broadcaster

An RF broadcaster sends a radio signal while it has power. Every RF receiver on the same frequency picks it up, anywhere on the map, and passes its own power on. Use it to switch things far away without a wire.

The inspector calls this panel RF Entity, the same as the receiver's. It shows when you select one or more broadcasters. Frequency is the channel the broadcaster sends on. Rust uses frequencies from 1 to 999999. Players in the game cannot pick 4760 to 4790.

Wire the broadcaster's power in the IO Entity panel, see IO wiring.

Can edit several selected objects at once.
