Emergency Broadcast Receiver : issue

[Kirshak]

Hello, I have an issue, I cannot use the Emergency Broadcast Receiver, the one that allow me to salvage Freighters derelicts in space.

Each time I try to use it, I get a message saying "Receiver temporarily Jammed" Since yesterday, I moved to multiple Solar systems since but I keep getting "Jammed". Anyone know why is this happening ?

Is your inventory full? It needs an empty slot to activate properly.

EDIT: Also, you can have only one receiver at a time in your inventory.

Check you haven't left one in your Personal Refiner.

all of them are in my inventory, I have 2 at the moment because I used to stockpile them

So at any given time, I can have only one Receiver ? does this mean I should destroy the other ones I have been stockpiling ?

You can actually stock pile them in your ship. Keeping them in your ship allows you to buy more at 5 mil Units even when you have one in your ship inventory. They must be used from your ships inventory also and not from your suit inventory. If this has changed, put your excess in your external storage such as freighter/base storage. It should never be an issue how many you have on you since the cost rises if you already have one in your suit inventory.

Ok got it, it's a little odd because I used to use them from my character inventory before but I'll try it out, thanks

Things change here all of the time due to patches and all. People also experience things different from others due to some hanging on to old files, some completely deleting old saves and reinstalling their games, also due to when they started the game and what point they reinstalled.

Let us know if this works or not.

It worked, I have moved all my receivers to my Freighter beside one that is in my ship, and it worked, thanks

Interesting, maybe that was due to a recent patch because I have many times had as many as 13 receivers on me and never experienced this issue before. My freighter is now maxed, so I'm not running them anymore, but this is new to me.

Like I said, everyone experiences differently due to it being a totally procedurally generated game. Just don't take it personal when someone else has a different answer.
