Dead Air Mod extends the Apocalypse Structures and Walkie-Talkie mods with a working radio network. It turns standard radio towers into broadcast nodes and lets you tune in to different music stations using your hand-held radio. You can explore the world while listening to built-in stations or add your own custom music tracks. The signal strength changes based on your distance from the towers, adding a fun survival element to your adventures.

Features:
- Working Radio Stations: Towers broadcast different channels like Bedrock Radio, Jukebox FM, and Remix Radio across the map.
- Signal Strength: The radio connection drops as you move further from a tower, losing signal completely after 375 blocks.
- Realistic Interference: Weather, bad line-of-sight, and weak signals add static noise to the audio.
- Station Discovery: You unlock new stations by walking near a tower with your radio turned on.
- Tower Activation: Standard towers work instantly, while fenced and overrun towers require a right-click on the radio panel to turn on.
- Custom Music: You can create your own stations by adding .ogg music files into the configuration folder.
- Background Playback: Music continues to play as long as the radio is in your hand, hotbar, or inventory.
- Location Ping: You can send your current coordinates and name directly to the game chat from the radio menu.
- Music Expansions: The system supports extra music packs for different moods like combat, adventure, and chill out.
