The Radio
Snake communicates with his allies via a field radio. The radio
will allow him to dial into specific frequencies to contact certain people.
When a person is reached a picture of them will pop up on screen and Snake and
the character will converse.
The radio can be used to find things out about certain characters, plants,
animals, survival techniques and so on. It is pretty much an information
database at your fingertips.
Different frequencies will contact different people so make sure you are on
the right frequency before transmitting. It is not, however, necessary to
memorize all the frequencies by yourself. There is a small options screen
below the main interface where you can select a previously used frequency so
that you don't have to remember it or constantly dial it in.
There are also some special fequencies in the game that will open various
doors or do other things for you. Some might cancel an alert mode, some might
play some elevator music.

When you are talking to someone over the radio you will be able to see a
few different pictures of them as well as a small dossier. Just use the
d-pad to scroll through all of this and find what you are looking for.
Note that you can only do this while talking to the person not at any
other time.
