How to Reach National Isolated Radio Array in Fallout 76
To get to the National Isolated Radio Array, make your way to the eastern section of the map. You'll find the radio array north of West Tek Research Center, and west of the Moth-Home. You can locate it from the map image above, marked by a large radio dish.
When you arrive here, you'll spot the giant, white radio array in the middle. To find the required location to complete the Signal Strength quest, however, you'll want to locate a smaller radio array. From the large radio array, make your way northeast towards the smaller one, shown in the third image. You'll need to install a repeater on this radio array, which you can do so by placing it on the gray square.
After, you'll need to divert power to the repeater. To do this, visit the Array Control Terminal, found in the small building between the two radio arrays. There will be a computer inside there. Choose 'Auxiliary Component Control', and then 'Divert Power to Auxiliary Component'. After this, you'll have found everything you need for the quest in the National Isolated Radio Array area.
