Radio Tower

[WoBra]

Hello,
I'd like to ask how the radio tower works. The individual parts have been found and already installed in the radio tower. There is a radio station in the base. But when I use it, I always get "No signal found". Is this a bug or am I still missing something, can I only communicate at specific times?
Since the last patch it says you can lock doors from the inside, but how? This doesn't work for me either!

I have had the CB radio since day 10 and am now on day 45 and it has never called a dealer! Once one came with the NPCs but I hadn't used the CB radio then!

In my opinion, the CB radio doesn't work properly.

CB radio works fine for me. Green light > activate it. It either says "mission failed" or "agent at your service". After that the light goes red until it can be activated a few hours later (don't know exactly how long it takes).

"Mission failed" > often a group of hostile human appears and raids me. Really annoying since they just ignore my barbwire walls and gate. They you just walk through it -_-

"Agent at your service" > a random trader will appear a few seconds later. Check the walls around. He always gets stuck somewhere on his way to the CB radio. Also got stuck within my base behind a small building.

Next i will try to put more than one CB radio and put them outside the base with no obstacles around them. Just the radios and a Storage and weapons box with items to sell.
Sadfully you get a random trader. Only the car parts and ammo trader have been useful for me. Food trader is a bad joke. Apparently i got so much to sell and they don't have anything good to buy. Since there is no money i have too keep the stack of things to sell/trade -_-

Yesterday I finally got an Air Drop, so it works after all! I must have always missed it! I'll have to keep testing CB.

This is my new CB radio setup: https://i.imgur.com/9rB3ejU.jpeg
- Only open field around. Works fine so far. Traders don't get stuck any more.
- You don't have to wait for them to go way. You can call in multiple traders at once.
- the traders are actually pretty good at killing zombie hordes.
Maybe i will add a few more cover walls for when the call fails and the raiders appear. I recommend using your binoculars (the skill enhancement for 2 skill points is really great!) after a "mission failed" call to see which direction the hostiles come from.
