    What was it, like 98-point-something? It was worse then elevator music, I hated it so much I put the radio in the toilet first level.

    If you move the radios to a certain location they start broadcasting morse code. Inside that morse code are images. Inside those images is a link to an old dialup bbs system with pictures of glados.

    Oh, and there is also a very distorted sound file that sounds like it part of episdeo 3.

    Hmm, I got the Orange Box the day it was released and I never knew about this. Where do you have to move the radios to hear this?
