546.14Hz ULF radio signal

The 546.14Hz ULF radio signal, or Dean's Collar Radio,Name used internally for the quest that implements this station, NVDLC01RadioDeanQuest is a radio station .
==Characteristics==
The signal can be listened to throughout the Sierra Madre. It allows one to eavesdrop on Dean Domino through the frequency of his bomb collar, including his idle conversations with Dog.
As long as Dean is alive, the radio signal will be active whenever the player character is either in a different cell from Dean or is in the same cell and more than 2000 units away from him. If Dean dies, the radio signal will end permanently.
 Due to an error, none of the radio dialogue for Act 2 or Act 3 will ever play, as the station is conditioned on the status of an unused main quest, Return to the Fountain, and so does not update correctly. On PC, this can be fixed using the console command or , which will cause the station to update to its Act 2 and/or Act 3 dialogue. This problem also affects the other three collar radio stations in Dead Money; the [[, the 631.08Hz ULF radio signal, and the 743.00Hz ULF radio signal. There are also several other bugs associated with these stations, some of which are masked by the fact that this bug prevents them from occurring. These bugs will be listed below.
==Opener==
All of the radio messages begin with a sound effect of a radio turning on (as used when activating radios in Fallout: New Vegas). The messages then proceed based on progression through the Dead Money storyline. The following line is used internally to describe this audio:
==Act I==
The following messages are used as long as not all three of the companions have been recruited yet (have not yet talked to Elijah during Fires in the Sky). However, due to the bug described above, they will play for all of Dead Money. They are scripted so that each individual conversation or floating line has a thirty second cooldown timer before it can replay. The conversations can occur if Dean and his conversation partner are both idle at the Villa fountain.
===Before recruitment===
These lines are used before Dean has been met during Find Collar 14: Dean Domino. Most of them are reused for after he is met. The second line is mostly likely only intended to play if Dean was met and he liked the Courier, based on its content.
Speaker	Line
Dean 	{Irritated}You'd think it was Spring the way tourists keep rolling in.
Dean 	{Impressed}That one's got a head on their shoulders. {Beat}For now.
Dean 	{Frowns, to himself}Hope that tourist is hurrying, haven't got all day.
Dean 	{Shakes head, disappointed in self}Should never have set that radio signal on repeat.
===After recruitment===
These lines are used after Dean has been met during Find Collar 14: Dean Domino.
====Dean and Dog, part 1====
 The full conversation does not play in-game, as the prompt to start the conversation erroneously increments the dialogue variable for the part 2 conversation instead, and will start that conversation as a result. However, the full conversation can still be heard in-person at the Villa fountain.
Speaker	Line
Dean 	Where the hell did you get this one. "Dog?" What, so you don't forget your name?
Dog 	{Curious, slow}I don't remember you. Who are you.
Dean 	A little slow, huh? Uh... Dean. Dean Domino. I... live here.
Dog 	You look like food, smell like food. Dog - hungry.
Dean 	All right, pal, you stay in your corner, I'll stay in mine. {Beat}Do not leave me alone with this thing.
====Dean and Dog, part 2====
This conversation (as with part 1) can occur on the radio even if God is the active personality. This is not true in-person.
Speaker	Line
Dean 	Why are you so carved up - {frowns, a little incredulous}that a {emph}bear trap on your arm?
Dog 	{Slow, to himself}Reminds me, keeps the voice out of my head. He can't talk when the pain's howling at me.
Dean 	Wait, so you're not just slow, you're screwy, too? {Rolls eyes}Some crew we are... we are never getting into the Sierra Madre.
Dog 	Dog is hungry. {Frowns at Dean}Tired of your voice... when do we eat?
Dean 	Don't like the way this guy is looking at me. You better be his leash.
===Dean talking to himself===
Speaker	Line
Dean 	{Irritated}You'd think it was Spring the way tourists keep rolling in.
Dean 	{Impressed}That one's got a head on their shoulders. {Beat}For now.
Dean 	{Frowns}At least this one seems like a straight shooter. {Beat}Or sucker.
Dean 	{Frowns}That tourist crosses me, they'll regret it. {Beat, shrugs}Even if they don't, they still might.
Dean 	{Shakes head, disappointed in self}Should never have set that radio signal on repeat.
==Act II==
Due to a bug described above, these messages do not play in-game. They would be used while Trigger the Gala Event is active.

==Act III==
Due to a bug described above, these messages do not play in-game. They would be used while Heist of the Centuries is active (i.e. once the player enters the Sierra Madre Casino & Resort). In practice, the radio would be completely silent until the Tampico is first entered during Curtain Call at the Tampico.

==Behind the scenes==
* The actual speaker source used to broadcast the radio signal is a talking activator which uses the model of a wall terminal, placed out of bounds in the Villa, behind the facade of the building to the right of the gate back to the Mojave Wasteland; all of the DLC's other radio speakers are set up the same way and can also be found there. They are enabled when Dead Money starts.
* Mikey Dowling worked on some of the sound effects used in the station, as noted in the dialogue script notes.
