What is this?

This is a fork of Shortwave Fixed by robot256. I made it mainly for my mod Autodrive. Autodrive needs it to transmit destination coordinates to vehicles equipped with a circuit-network sensor. However, it really doesn't make sense that vehicles try to path to the same position on another surface. Therefore, I limited the range of my shortwave radios.

Difference to Shortwave Fixed

Radios from Shortwave fixed transmit to other ALL radios that are tuned to the same channel, no matter where they are. In contrast, radios from this mod will only transmit to radios on the same surface. Of course, you are free to use a channel name even if it is already in use on another surface – just remember that the radios are on two distinct networks and won't see each other!

Compatibility

This mod does co-exist with Shortwave Fixed. In fact, if both mods are active, the recipe for limited-range radios will be researched together with the recipe from the original mod. Again, the same channel names may be used with normal and limited-range radios – the radios won't interfere with each other.
