Main radio tower requires 10 power (two medium generators or 1 large generator).

So if you're trying to leech power from two medium generators which are hooked up to the main one, it won't work. It also won't work if you try leeching it off the large generator by itself.

He says "place". So the Beacon probably isn't even there yet.

If you have all the materials, and you're in Workshop mode, try fast travelling far away, waiting for 24 hours (in-game, obviously), then fast travel back. If it's actually bugged (which I doubt, but it's possible, then you'll have to load game).

Wait at the Castle, the radio tower in the center is the radio tower you need. You can't build a other one, I think. You need to power the one in the center. 10 power as Bethesda Fanboy said. It reaches through the entire Commonwealth

there is an industral water purifier around the back, needs 5 power. i made 3 mediun generators and hooked them up to the wiring already placed in the castle (which is hooked up to the water purifier) and the radio. works fine fo me

You can build a radio recruitment tower...I have one at the castle + the main one which is already there at the start.

That's pretty stupid, that tower is good. It warns for attacks at settlements, it reaches across the whole Commonwealth.

Don't read what I type in spoilers if you didn't get with missions of a certain faction the tower is later needed with the Minutemen. It's a part of taking the Fort. Also it's later needed for some thing specific:artillerythough optional, it's really handy to know if your target is in range and if they will shoot.
