So i turne don my radio for the first time and found the scan option. I encountered this repeating text:  
#g########  
#e####w###################  
##########f#########d#x##t  
##########################  
##########################  
##########################  
########################## (didnt have time to add all the letters)  
I then had the idea that since this message repeats and different letters showed each time, i might be able to piece together a message! But after a little while i believe the messages are just random…  
So my idea would be that in the future, the devs could hide some lore or secret messages using this format, and the players could decipher it if they feel like it.

Hint:

It takes several turns of text before the message repeats.

Double Hint:

While Kevin’s statement is true, if you are far enough away the only sounds you get will be random.
